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 />
