Thank you so much for my Shabbos Chanukah package. Everything was fresh and delicious. With the package, I got a menorah and it was just beautiful. Felt so connected. Can’t wait for my next trip.

Chabad was great!! The rabbi was so kind and welcoming, and the food was great too :)

Without any doubt this is one of the most beautiful Chabad houses in the world. We felt welcomed at your home and enjoyed a beautiful Shabbos dinner with your children and the other friends and family attending.

Thank you very much to Rabbi and Rebbetzin Raskin for having us on Shabbat Zachor! Rabbi Raskin's kindness and words of Torah left us inspired! All the food prepared by the Rebbetzin was delicious! Hoping to stay in touch and continue to learn from them both!

A Shabbos to remember ! The Rabbi and his wife were so welcoming and really made us feel at home. A big thank you to them and we look forward to coming back in the future !

I visited Jamaica for Rosh Hashanah, and can say that the highlight of my trip was Rabbi & Mrs. Raskin’s warm and welcoming hospitality. They went out of their way to make sure I have everything I need. The food was better than the best steakhouse back in NY, the davening and shiurim were uplifting and inspiring, haven’t felt this connected in a while… Thanks again for everything!

Thank you Rabbi and Mrs. Raskin for an unforgettable Rosh Hashana!
The hospitality, the food, the vibes.. what an experience!
I sure hope to come back iy'h.

We came to Jamaica as a large group renting a nearby Villa. From the very first moment that I began planning our trip the Rabbi was soooo helpful and friendly. When we got there he came and kashered the kitchen not leaving any details unattended to. The trip was fabulous and our group will forever be thankful to the Rabbi for helping us make it such a success!!!
Thank you so much Chabad of Jamaica

Yah Mahn!! 😎☀️
Rabbi Yankel & Rebetzin Mushkee Raskin at Flacks chabad house JewMaica are truly special people! We spent the sukkos together and had delicious tasty meals, They are here to help every jew with all their needs and bring them closer to Hashem, let’s bring moshiach together! 🇯🇲🌴

Thank you so much for sharing Shabbat dinner with us! The food was delicious, the company was interesting, and the atmosphere in the sukkah was wonderful.

Thank you Rabbi Raskin,

I had to fly into Jamaica for a work trip and didn't have the time to properly prepare for kosher food arrangements. Although, I recommend doing so the chabad and their cafe by the hip strip really came in handy. The food tasted great.

A big thumbs up to the work these guys do.

Thank you for helping our family while we were in Montego Bay. Food can make a place feel like home. You helped my children feel at home while on vacation with my family of mixed religious backgrounds. That means the world to me. The food was delicious. My children loved it. Compliments to the chef and to your whole family for your deep commitment to Jewish life that touches so many.

L'chaim to Rabbi Raskin and family for their hospitality. Thank you and Chabbad Jamaica for a Shabbath experience like non other... look towards future times of again sharing the company of the righteous and pious. Toda raba

The Rabbi and Rebetzin were so helpful. warm, and welcoming.
We enjoyed the shul and meal so much!

The food was amazing! The service was great!! I would recommend it for anyone coming to jamaica!!

We experienced an unforgettable vacation thanks to the warm and welcoming hospitality of Rabbi Raskin. They accept every Yid with open arms and make you feel at home. Kudos to Rabbi and Rebitzin Raskin. Chabad of Jamaica is second to none!

Thank you for an unforgettable Shabbos meal with great company and delicious food.
We hope to be back and share more4 meals i'yh.

We spent a wonderful shabbos with the Raskin family and were so impressed! The food was plentiful and delicious, the atmosphere warm and welcoming and the conversation riveting and meaningful!
We wish them much continued Hatzlacha in their endeavors!
Looking forward to coming back when we can make it there again next time iyh!

We were lucky to have the very first Bar Mitzvah at Chabad Jamaica in December 2022. The Rabbi, his wife and staff did an amazing job. The place is gorgeous and looks like a private villa with the backdrop of the ocean and the gulf course. It was decorated beautifully and made a perfect place for pictures. The food was delicious. We had brunch prepared. The Rabbi conducted the ceremony in the most personal and memorable fashion. Our guests and our family really enjoyed this amazing event. I highly recommend Chabad Jamaica for all special occasions in Jamaica!

We really enjoyed the food and services from Chabad here in Jamaica! The food was really delicious with a taste of home!
Would recommend the food for anyone visiting Jamaica

The Lipsitz family trip was truly amazing thanks to Rabbi Raskin and his staff! We had a group of 15 and the meals that he provided were exceptional. We visited the beautiful Chabad House in Montego Bay and I would say it is a “must visit” for any Jewish visitors to the area. I look forward to our next trip!

Thank you so much for an amazing Shabbos experience
Rabbi and the Rebetzin Raskin are very welcoming, and make you feel at home!!
the food is heimish and delicious, the company is amazing, and the place is beautiful!!

Looking forward to the next time!

Sorry for being late we were coming from Hanover, but my friend and I had an amazing time, the dancing and singing and your daughters performance of Purim. Met a lot of new people, some from Jamaica and from the US. The Rebbitzin made an amazing feast and was very sweet. Both myself and my friend really enjoyed ourselves and felt very welcomed as always.
Todah Raba Rebbi and Rebbitzin for opening your place to us, may Hashem bring you plenty of nachas

Our Shabath with the chabad Jamaica was amazing 5 stars ⭐️
The house is beautiful and the food was also excellent
Thank you for your hospitality

We celebrated our second Pesach here in Jamaica with the community at Chabad in Montego Bay. It was a wonderful night, the Rabbi and Rebbetzin never fail to impress with a beautiful setting, a warm welcome, delicious food, and an ability to make a very diverse crowd feel like a family, celebrating together. Thank you both for all that you do for Jewish Jamaica and for those visiting Jamaica!! P.S. - Our kids loved the plastic frogs....they are still "hopping" around our home as I write this.

I've been living forty years in Jamaica with my family Abuhatzeira. I've known Chabad since Rabbi Yaakov Raskin has come here. Yesterday was the yom azikeron remembrance for my son at the Chabad house in montego Bay. The prayers, the people, the spirit was everywhere. With all my experience in Jamaica I consider the Chabad House with its mikve and beautiful synagogue is the biggest miracle I have ever seen in Jamaica. I highly recommend every Jew to visit Chabad house which will be an unforgettable experience. The spirit of the house and Rabbi Raskins family will always stay with you.

We had a marvelous Pesach in a Montego Bay villa. We thank Rabbi and Rebetzin Raskas for making it possible. They arranged for food and Kashered the kitchen for Pesach. The shul is beautiful and welcoming, thanks to Rabbi Raskas. . We were made to feel like part of the “ chevra” as soon as we arrived.
What a memorable Pesach!

Our large, extended family was welcomed by the warm, welcoming and generous hospitality described by so many others. It’s easy to see that the previous reviewers describe a home, a Shul and an atmosphere that is simply very unique and special. We could not agree more. The kindness and generosity of spirit of Rabbi and Mrs Raskin extended far beyond the Chabad itself and into the specific needs of our family - doing all the could to see that our Passover was a wonderful one. We are so grateful for them and their lovely children. May Hashem grant them many happy years of nachos (happiness) together with their large extended family for many years to come !

We were quite nervous about celebrating Pessach in Jamaica given the stringent dietary restrictions and the need for a minyan. Any fear we had disappeared when we spoke to the Rabbi and the Rebitzin. What wonderful people! From the first time I spoke to them they put my mind at ease. They provided us with a choice of beautiful villas, prepared and raw foods, daily minyanin. Our stay was amazing and I cannot say enough about Chabad. I would recommend going to Jamaica and making the Rabbi and Rebitzin your first call.

I am delighted to share a wonderful review about Rabbi and Rebatzin Raskin's hospitality. Their warm and welcoming demeanor made my family's Pesach experience in Jamaica an unforgettable one.

From the moment we arrived, Rabbi and Rebatzin Raskin made us feel like part of their family. We were fortunate enough to join them for yom tov meals, and the food was absolutely delicious. Their attention to detail was evident in every dish, and we were constantly amazed by their culinary skills.

The breathtaking views from their home were a sight to behold. The Raskin family's hospitality extended beyond the food and accommodation; they were incredibly accommodating to our family, especially our young children. Their generosity and warmth made us feel right at home.

Meeting interesting guests from around the world was an added bonus to our stay. The comfortable and beautiful home provided a perfect setting for everyone to come together and share in the joyous occasion of Pesach.

Overall, our stay with Rabbi and Rebatzin Raskin was a truly remarkable experience, and we cannot thank them enough for their incredible hospitality. We look forward to returning and creating more wonderful memories with them in the future.

I had an absolutely amazing Erev Shabbos. Thank you Rabbi and Rebbetzin Raskin for your hospitality, and for getting together a minyan so I could say kaddish. You have built, b'ezrat Hashem, an amazing shul, mikveh and Chabad house.

הרב רסקין אירח אותנו בבית חבד לחג השבועות וגם שבת הכול היה מעל ומעבר מדוייק בצורה מושלמת שמח מאוד אוויריה יהודית בג׳מייקה ממש מחחמת את הלב הרבה דאג לנו לכול מה שחסר כיוון אותנו בצורה דאגנית ואכפתית לאורך כול השהות בג׳מייקה אחד מבתי החבד הטובים שהייתי בהחלט אחזור לגמייקה והרבה בזכות הרב

We had the privilege of celebrating the beautiful holiday of Shavuos with Rabbi and Mrs. Raskin. Their hospitality was truly remarkable, and we want to express our heartfelt appreciation. From the warm welcome to the delicious meals and inspiring teachings, every moment spent in their home was filled with joy and meaning.

Incredible shavuos experience in Jamaica! From stepping off the plane the care to every detail was so evident from the rabbi and rebbetzin. Really there to help you from A-Z. A beautiful and warm community in every way. As all of us as visitors continue to have seamless and easy trips, it is only due to the endless amount of work the raskin family puts in in every day of the year. What an amazing experience, put this one at the top of your bucket list my friends!

What’s a wonderful experience at the Chabad Jewmaica for Shavuos! Rabbi and Rebbetzin Raskin went all out on preparing a gorgeous, uplifting holiday!

Davening was beautiful, the meals were delicious, the property is stunning, and the company was amazing.

Highly recommended for all to visit this beautiful island and spend some time with the Rabbi and Rebbetzin!
