| New Chabad in historic Ottawa building offers a home to decades-old Jewish library The Canadian Jewish News,Wednesday, June 10, 2026 |
| The opening of a new Chabad building in Ottawa has brought almost 15,000 library books back to the capital’s Jewish community after they spent nearly a decade in storage. Chabad of Wellington West was founded in 2022 by Ottawa-born Rabbi Moshe Caytak and his wife, Sheina Caytak, when they moved from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Ottawa with their three-month-old son. The couple co-directed the centre in their home for several years, inviting some of the neighbourhood’s 600 Jewish households to Shabbat and holiday dinners. Rabbi Caytak says they’ve raised around $1.7 million to open the new centre. |
