Shortly after moving on shlichus to establish Chabad of Citrus & Hernando Counties, Rabbi Moshe and Maryasha Serebryanski discovered their home had been broken into after being away for a few days.

“We came home after being away for a few days and saw that the back door was shattered,” Rabbi Serebryanski told Anash.org. “All our cash and valuables (including a rebbe dime necklace) are gone. Our house was turned upside down. Police were called right away, and there is an ongoing investigation.”

The incident occurred earlier this week. “It seems to be a targeted attack,” Rabbi Serebryanski said. “It is a very safe area, and all the neighbors were horrified that such a thing happened in that neighborhood.”

The Serebryanskis, together with their son Mendel, are third-generation shluchim to Florida. They moved to Beverly Hills, Florida earlier this year to revitalize Congregation Beth Sholom and establish Chabad of Citrus & Hernando Counties. The region, located in Florida’s Nature Coast, is known for its natural freshwater springs and scenic parks, and is home to a small but diverse Jewish population.

The family said the situation has been so unsettling that they’ve had to temporarily stay elsewhere, all while continuing to show up for their community with strength
