Reply To: Chabad of…South Dakota?

Of course it’s not a competition. But there are only a few hundred Jews in the entire state of South Dakota. It would not make sense to have two kiruv centers, especially if they were located near each other. We think Sioux Falls makes the most sense, since it is the largest city and has a university an hour away. Pierre, which is the capital, is a tiny city. If Chabad is planning to open a house in Rapid City (home to Mount Rushmore) on the other side of the state about 8 hours away, that would be one thing. But if Chabad is going to Sioux Falls, there is really no reason for us to be there.
