"#Chabad-#Lubavitch is a #Jewish #religious movement founded more than 250 years ago. Today, it is one of the largest Jewish outreach networks in the world, with thousands of community centers operating globally. These centers serve #Jews of all backgrounds, particularly those who are unaffiliated, traveling, or in need of support.

Chabad emissaries host #Shabbat dinners, teach #Torah, help families affix #mezuzot to their homes, organize public #Hanukkah celebrations, visit hospitals, and provide guidance to Jews who may be isolated or facing personal crises. Their mission is religious and communal. They do not attempt to convert non-Jews. They do not lobby governments, organize protests, or engage in political activism.

Despite this, Chabad Jews have increasingly been labeled as “#Nazis,” “#genocidal,” or “#racist” in posters, protests, and online campaigns, including outside Chabad’s headquarters in #CrownHeights. This rhetoric is not harmless."

▶ When Visibility Becomes a Target: The Attacks on Chabad Jews | HonestReporting

The Chabad movement is highly visible and misunderstood. It's a huge Jewish outreach network & has been targeted with antisemitism.

There was a piece on the (Israeli) evening news last night about the chabad rebbetsen (rabbi's wife) who is looking after many of them, among other things. I'm not generally a fan of #Lubavitch AKA #Chabad, they're missionaries and as the Rav Shach famously said, they're the closest cult to Judaism (because they think their late rebbe was the messiah), but there are places where they're the only ones there to do important work.

There's a huge sale on Chabad Lubavitch books from Kehot Publication Society. Many are 30% and some 40% off.
