Chabad is a Hasidic movement within Judaism that emphasizes the importance of spiritual knowledge and understanding. Founded in the late 18th century by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, Chabad teaches that everyone can connect with God through study, prayer, and good deeds. The movement is known for its outreach efforts, helping Jews of all backgrounds engage with their faith. Chabad operates centers around the world, often referred to as Chabad Houses, where they offer educational programs, community services, and holiday celebrations. Their warm and welcoming approach encourages people to explore their Jewish identity, making Judaism accessible and meaningful to all.
