When Rabbi Moshe Gourarie came to Toms River as a shliach of the Rebbe, he had a vision: build a place for Yidden to grow. But the township had other plans — and they took him to court to shut him down. In this exclusive sit-down, Rabbi Gourarie tells the whole story: the challenges, the lawsuit, the fight, and the moment the judge ruled “Chabad Wins” — a victory that opened the doors for countless Jewish families to call Toms River home.
Along the way, Reb Moshe also shares precious memories of the Rebbe, and looks back on his life growing up Chabad in Detroit — the people, the moments, and the foundation that shaped the shliach he became.
This is the story behind the headline, in his own words.
