Chabad of Southwest is in the center of the southwest part of the Las Vegas Valley. It offers weekly prayer services, holiday’s programs, women’s only gathering, as well as adult and child education classes. Rabbi Levi and Mrs. Chayala Wilhem are directors of this center and are constantly thinking of ways to expand Jewish activities into the Southwest Las Vegas Valley.
