Chabad of Briarcliff-Ossining

The mission of Chabad Lubavitch of Briarcliff Manor-Ossining is to provide each and every Jew, regardless of background or degree of commitment, the opportunity to discover the beauty of our shared heritage in a warm, welcoming and non judgmental environment.

Chabad provides innovative educational and social services to the Briarcliff-Ossining community, in a spirit of love and brotherhood. Its purpose is to improve the quality of life through reaching out and fulfilling the needs of the community through its various programs, e.g. The Friendship Circle and the Cheers and Tears program. Chabad pledges to fulfill the mandate of the Lubavitcher Rebbe by increasing in acts of goodness and kindness for all humankind; thus preparing the world for the ultimate redemption.

The following story about Rabbi Schneur Zalman the founder of Chabad will clearly illustrate the motto of Chabad.

Rabbi Schneur Zalman had a son, Rabbi Dov Ber, who was known for his remarkable ability to concentrate. Usually, when he was praying or studying, he did not notice anything around him.
