Chabad
Lubavitcher movement today
Chabad is a branch of Hasidic Judaism known for its outreach to secular and unaffiliated Jews.
The movement operates centers worldwide—often near universities or in tourist areas—offering Shabbat meals, holiday observances, and Jewish education to anyone who walks in.
Also called Chabad-Lubavitch, after the Lubavitch dynasty that leads it.
There's a Chabad house near campus where students gather for Friday night dinners.
