ABOUT CHABAD LUBAVITCH

Established 250 years ago, the Chabad-Lubavitch movement—a branch of Hasidism—swept through Russia and spread across Europe, eventually reaching almost every corner of the world and affecting virtually every facet of Jewish life. Guided by the teachings of its seven leaders ("Rebbes"), beginning with Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi of righteous memory (1745–1812), the movement created a program of study thousands of books strong, personified the age-old Biblical qualities of piety and leadership, and  oversaw the totality of Jewish life, spiritual and physical, regardless how small or insignificant any detail might seem. In this generation, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory (1902–1994), known simply as "the Rebbe," guided post-holocaust Jewry to safety from the ravages of that devastation. The origins of today's Chabad-Lubavitch organization can be traced to the early 1940s, when the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of righteous memory (1880–1950), appointed his son-in-law and later successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel, to head the newly founded educational and social service arms of the movement. Today 4,000 full-time emissary families direct more than 3,300 institutions dedicated to the welfare of the Jewish people worldwide.
