Chabad Lubavitch<br />

The word “Chabad” is a Hebrew acronym for three<br />

intellectual faculties: Chachmah – wisdom; Binah –<br />

comprehension, and Da’at - knowledge. The movement’s<br />

system of Jewish religious philosophy, the deepest<br />

dimension of G-d’s Torah, teaches understanding and<br />

recognition of the Creator, the role and purpose of creation,<br />

and the importance and unique mission of each created thing.<br />

This philosophy guides a person to refine and govern his or<br />

her every act and feeling through wisdom, comprehension<br />

and knowledge.<br />

“Lubavitch” is the name of the town in White Russia where<br />

the movement was based for more than a century.<br />

Appropriately, the word Lubavitch in Russian means “city of<br />

brotherly love.” The name Lubavitch conveys the essence of<br />

the responsibility and love engendered by the Chabad<br />

philosophy toward every single Jew.<br />
