Chabad of Atwater Village

Chabad House

Chabad Atwater Village is a welcoming Jewish community in Los Angeles offering Shabbat services, holidays, learning, programs, and support.

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

Lubavitch appropriately means the “city of brotherly love”The word “Chabad” is a Hebrew acronym for the three intellectual faculties of chochmah—wisdom, binah—comprehension and da’at—knowledge. The movement’s system of Jewish religious philosophy, the deepest dimension of G‑d’s Torah, teaches understanding and recognition of the Creator, the role and purpose of creation, and the importance and unique mission of each creature. This philosophy guides a person to refine and govern his or her every act and feeling through wisdom, comprehension and knowledge.

Today over 5,000 full-time emissary families (2,000 in the United States) apply 250-year-old principles and philosophy to direct more than 3,500 institutions (and a workforce that numbers in the tens of thousands) dedicated to the welfare of the Jewish people worldwide.

“EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS THE CAPACITY TO BUILD COMMUNITIES AND ENDOW COMMUNITIES WITH LIFE… SO THAT EVERY COMMUNITY MEMBER BECOMES A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION”
