“This festival is about bringing people together,” said Rabbi Chaim Kudan of Chabad of Truckee. “Whether you’ve grown up with Jewish traditions or are simply curious to experience something new, all are welcome. L’Chaim is about sharing the warmth, beauty, and values of Jewish culture with everyone. We hope it becomes a yearly celebration for the entire Truckee-Tahoe community.”
