He passionately advanced Lubavitch’s mission to ensure the continuity of Jewish life, making it accessible and meaningful across all ages and backgrounds. Known for his hands-on approach, Joe often carried a stack of a hundred or more solicitation cards, “pounding the pavement” to rally support for Lubavitch’s work throughout Wisconsin. He was a familiar figure at Brynwood, the Jewish country club, where he often approached friends and members to encourage their support for Lubavitch’s campaign. From 1979 to 1982, Joe served as Chairman of the Lubavitch Annual Concert, leading with dedication and enthusiasm that inspired many. After Joe’s passing in 2014, his family continued his legacy through the Papa Joe Lurie Scholarship Fund, established by his grandson Scott. This annual fund provides educational scholarships to students at Lubavitch's schools, including Jewish Beginnings, Bader Hillel Academy, and Bader Hillel High. Joe’s enduring legacy, upheld by his family, is a testament to his unwavering commitment to Jewish continuity, inspiring future generations to carry forward the values he cherished.

Celebrate Passover (Pesach) with Lubavitch of Wisconsin. Order your Shmurah Matzah today! Pesach In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch April 21-29, 2027 Order Shmurah Matzah Now Sell Your Chametz The eight-day Jewish holiday of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan, April 12 - 20, 2025. Passover (Pesach) celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in ancient Egypt, when we became a nation. Pesach is observed by avoiding leaven (chametz), and highlighted by the "Seders" on the first two nights. They include four cups of wine, eating matzah and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus. In Hebrew it is known as Pesach (which means “to pass over”), because G‑d passed over the Jewish homes when punishing the Egyptian's firstborn on the very first Passover eve, forcing them to let the Jewish people go free. For access to a seder and a full list of holiday programs, contact your local Chabad!
