A Chabad Center is a Jewish community center serving the needs of an\nentire Jewish community, offering Torah classes, religious services and\nassistance in Jewish education and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Jewish community center in the most authentic sense of the word, a Chabad\nCenter is the starting point for all the educational and social activities of\nthe Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries (Shluchim), meeting the needs of the entire\nJewish community, from our youngest ones to our elders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Mena’hem Mendel Schneerson of blessed memory,\nhas always called for the expansion of activities in existing Chabad Centers,\nas well as for the opening of new centers wherever Jews are present : in urban\ncenters, in suburbs, on university campuses, everywhere in the world. Its\ndelegates have responded – and continue to respond – to its call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1972, in a letter sent on the occasion of the opening of a new Chabad\nCenter, the Rebbe expressed the wish that this new institution be a key opening\nthe hearts of all those who would frequent it and all those who would be within\nits influence – that would open their hearts to the very essence of their Yiddishkeit<\/a>. This Yiddishkeit, in the deepest part of\noneself, is reputed to be always alive and sensitive, despite the outer layers\nthat cover it. When awakened, the Jew naturally ignites with the warmth of the\nTorah of Life and with the Mitzvot, which constitute the essence of Jewish\nlife. And he in turn becomes a source of inspiration for those around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Chabad Centers, and in all their activities, the Shluchim are\nAbraham’s heirs: all their doors are open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They inherited his kindness and compassion, his selfless commitment to\nrevealing G-d’s existence to the whole world. They will not stop until the\nsprings of the Torah have sprung up in each place, “in the West and East,\nin the North and South”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find a Chabad Center near you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
