history

The aim of this project is to showcase the Lubavitacher Rebbe's efforts to bring kedusha--holiness to the four corners of the world. Lubavitchers follow Chabad traditions--prayer services based on Lurianic kabbalah and follow the Chassidus of the Baal Shem Tov.

Chabad-Lubavitch global reach extends to over 1000 cities around the world. By 2010, there were an estimated 3,600 Chabad Institutions worldwide, in 70 countries.

Chabad was founded in the late 18th century by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. The Lubavitch branch takes its name from Lyubavichi, the Russian town where the group was based until the early 20th century. Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, the sixth leader, fled war-torn Europe for New York in 1940, where he established a synagogue. His son-in-law, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, turned the movement into a powerful force within Judaism. Click on any country or city below to see the many local Chabads listed.
