Chabad of Red Rock is the 8th Chabad Center to have been established in the Greater Valley Area. It was hosted its first program, a Chanukah party, in December of 2015. Like many Chabad Centers around the world, it began as a living room operation, to be developed into a community literally one person at a time.
