| About Chabad | ||
|
The Rebbe's profound love for every human being and boundless optimism and self-sacrifice has motivated and spurred thousands of young rabbis and their families to leave the comforts of their home-grown-Jewish communities and set out to produce a dazzling array of programs, services and institutions to serve every Jew across the globe regardless of background or affiliation (or lack of one!). These educational and social-service institutions serve a variety of functions for the entire spectrum of Jews, regardless of affiliation or background. Programs geared to humanitarian endeavors reach out beyond the Jewish community, to all people. Seeking to help shape the next generation of engaged leadership within the Jewish community and within American society at large, Chabad combines faith and tradition with a welcoming, inclusive and nonjudgmental attitude most effective in today's world. Chabad operates active, full-time and part-time outreach and activity centers at hundreds universities worldwide, including right here in MetroWest. Although Chabad House Jewish Center is affiliated with the worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch network, we are responsible for raising 100% of our budget locally. And all funds raised, stay entirely within local Chabad community and are used exclusively for our programs and activities. |
The most dynamic force in Jewish life today, Chabad-Lubavitch is a philosophy, a movement and an organization, with 4,000 full-time shluchim (emissaries) directing over 3,300 institutions dedicated to the welfare of the Jewish people worldwide. Chabad is driven by the philosophy and direction of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, known simply and lovingly as "The Rebbe."
