American Friends of Lubavitch (Chabad)

In addition to serving as the representative entity in our nation's capital of the international Chabad-Lubavitch movement - and thus being directly responsible for events and activities of national and international reach and significance - American Friends of Lubavitch (Chabad) in Washington DC offers an array of interesting and inspiring programs which reach out to members of our community of all backgrounds and affiliations.

There are over 1,500 affiliated centers, with thousands of men, women, and youth serving hundreds of communities in all 50 states. These centers run the gamut from early childhood education to rabbinical ordination and teacher's colleges, chaplaincy programs and crisis intervention, along with traditional yet open religious and support services offered regardless of prior affiliation. The goal of all these is the same - to help raise Jewish awareness, make the community stronger and our world more welcoming.
