About
Desert sunshine, red mountains and golf, with an established Jewish community in Scottsdale and north-central Phoenix. Chabad centers serve visitors across the valley and several kosher restaurants and stores are close by.
Good to know: only 21 shuls and 12 kosher places are on our map here so far, and the real number is likely higher. Before you book, check with the local Chabad (search Chabad Phoenix) and look up kosher on Google Maps.
