Rabbi Levi and Devora Leah Kesselman and their family have recently moved on shlichus to Kirkwood, Missouri, an inner suburb in the western St. Louis area with a Jewish population of nearly 1,000 residents.

The Kesselmans are establishing the first permanent Chabad presence in the community, creating a welcoming space for Jewish life where every Jew can connect, grow, and feel at home in their Yiddishkeit.

Kirkwood is one of St. Louis’ most vibrant and established communities, known for its outstanding schools, thriving downtown, and family-friendly neighborhoods. Since their arrival, the Kesselmans have already been warmly welcomed by members of the local Jewish community, who have expressed excitement about having a Jewish address in Kirkwood.

The Kesselmans have been appointed by Rabbi Yosef Landa, Regional Director of Chabad of Greater St. Louis. They are now working to establish their home and Chabad center and begin building the infrastructure to serve the community.
