About Chabad
Chabad North Shore is one of over three and a half thousand Chabad institutions worldwide. Established in 1989, it strives to implement the vision of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, by contributing towards the ultimate goal of a world of peace, goodness and G‑dliness.
This is accomplished by:
- Strengthening Yiddishkeit within the community by encouraging the performance of individual acts of goodness and mitzvot.
- Highlighting the goodness and spirituality that exists within each and every person, without exception.
- Nurturing the thirst for a deeper knowledge of, and desire to experience genuine spirituality for those who wish to explore this within Judaism.
- Creating a non-judgemental environment where Jews of all ages and backgrounds feel comfortable, accepted, and “at home” regardless of their level of observance or level of commitment, aiming to treat each person with equal respect and love.
- Providing emotional, spiritual and material support to all, whenever possible, unconditionally.
This is put into practice through our numerous services to the broader Jewish community throughout the North Shore, including a wide array of high quality educational, outreach, crisis and welfare programmes for men, women and children of all ages, in the spirit of joy and Ahavat yisrael, unconditional acceptance of all who choose to avail themselves of our services.
