Overview
Mission
To support and sustain Jewish community life in Bahia Blanca by meeting the needs of hundreds of Jewish families, helping provide basic necessities and community strength, and enabling Chabad House spiritual programming and the joy of Judaism. When the economic crisis hit Argentina in 2000, they responded with financial and moral support for hundreds of working and middle-class Jewish families in Bahia Blanca. Tragically, Rabbi Moshe Freedman passed away in the summer of 2016, leaving his devoted wife Sarah and their children alone in the world, and their beautiful community without it's inspiring leader. Your generosity supplies the needs of hundreds of families who have come to rely on them for basic necessities, the strength of community and the joy of Judaism.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
