It began in July of 2000 with the arrival of Rabbi Mendel and Lieba Mintz in the city of Aspen. Energized by the legacy of their teacher and mentor, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, whose core teachings and philosophy centered on the importance of reaching out with love and nonjudgmental acceptance to fellow Jews and putting them in closer touch with their heritage, the Mintz’s came to town with a passionate desire to make a difference. They founded the Jewish Community Center Chabad Aspen Valley. |

Rabbi Shmuel, the fourth Rebbe of Chabad, once said: “There are those who, when faced with an obstacle or barrier in life, struggle desperately to crawl beneath the barrier, and if they're not successful, then and only then, do they attempt to jump over the barrier. But I say, to begin with, jump over! Don’t even try to crawl beneath. From the very outset, transcend! Leap above and beyond!”
What the Rebbe was saying is that when pursuing a worthwhile endeavor, one should always think outside the box. Think big. Think miracles.
