Chabad Lubavitch of Bricket Wood & Districts

Chabad, considered to be the most dynamic force in Jewish life today, is a movement that derives its impulse and inspiration from a passion for Judaism and a love for Jewish people, and all mankind. The call has always been the same. Governments change, the map is rearranged, yet Chabad-Lubavitch never stops responding to the call of the Jewish soul. Indeed, actions of loving- kindness, and Jewish living and learning are not items on our agenda, they are the agenda. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Chabad’s international network of over 4,000 centres in more than 100 countries around the world, has created an inviting Jewish community within reach of any Jew, nearly anywhere on the globe. Ensuring universal Jewish awareness with the eternal promise of Jewish continuity.

The word “Chabad” is a Hebrew acronym for Wisdom, Comprehension and Knowledge. The movement’s system of Jewish philosophy, teaches understanding and recognition of the Creator, the role and purpose of creation, and the importance and unique mission of each Creature.

“Lubavitch” is the name of the town in White Russia where the movement was based for more than a century. Appropriately, the word Lubavitch in Russian means the “city of brotherly love.” Thus Lubavitch conveys the essence of the responsibility and love engendered by the Chabad philosophy toward every individual.
