The Halons moved to East Meadow in 2020 to begin their new lives as Chabad Emissaries. Their passion is to help bring people closer to their roots and heritage. Motivated by a profound love for every Jew and spurred by optimism, their goal is to offer programs and services to educate, inspire, and uplift Jews from all walks of life with unconditional love and acceptance.
