Chabad of the Conejo was established in 1979 as a branch of Chabad of the Greater San Fernando Valley to provide a center for Jewish education, worship and outreach to Jews from all walks of life residing in the Conejo Valley. Its mission is to implement and operate educational and community outreach programs that promote awareness, knowledge and observance of Jewish tradition and a sense of Jewish pride and solidarity. It offers youth programs, adult education and community services and outreach.

The new Center for Jewish Life building replaces the building that served as the administration's headquarters. A new two-story building includes classrooms, meeting space, offices, a kitchen, combined library and chapel, and a Friendship Circle wing. The new facility allows the existing building to function exclusively as a synagogue and social/lecture hall and accommodates growing programs and new community service activities.
