Synagogue

Our Chabad Shul attracts community members from diverse backgrounds. Participants are not judged by their ability to take part, nor by their religious knowledge. All Shul services are warm, relaxing, haimish and easy to follow. Friday night & Saturday morning services enjoy a great spirit and communal participation.

When you enter our Chabad House, you will be greeted with a warm welcome, encouragement and support. Our Shul participants are actively involved in the services, which are meaningful and inspirational.

What Is Chabad-Lubavitch?

In a nutshell, Chabad-Lubavitch is a philosophy, a movement, and an organization — considered to be the most dynamic force in Jewish life today.

Philosophy

The word "Chabad" is a Hebrew acronym for the three intellectual faculties of chachmah (wisdom), binah (comprehension), and da'at (knowledge). The movement's system of Jewish religious philosophy teaches understanding and recognition of the Creator, the role and purpose of Creation, and the unique mission of each creature. The word "Lubavitch" is the name of the town in White Russia where the movement was based for over a century — in Russian meaning "city of brotherly love," conveying the love the Chabad philosophy holds for every Jew.

Movement

Following its inception 250 years ago, the Chabad-Lubavitch movement swept through Russia and the surrounding countries, providing scholars with answers and simple farmers with love. Eventually its philosophy reached almost every corner of the world, affecting nearly every facet of Jewish life.

Leadership

The movement is guided by the teachings of its seven leaders (Rebbes), beginning with Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, of righteous memory (1745–1812). Each concerned himself not only with Chabad-Lubavitch, but with the totality of Jewish life, spiritual and physical. In our generation, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory (1902–1994), guided post-Holocaust Jewry to safety from the ravages of that devastation.

Organization

Motivated by his profound love for every Jew, the Rebbe set into motion a dazzling array of programs, services, and institutions. Today, 4,000 full-time emissary families apply these 250-year-old principles to direct more than 2,700 institutions worldwide, dedicated to the welfare of the Jewish people.
