Chabad centers
What Is a Chabad House?
Discover a local center for Jewish learning, community and practical connection.
A Chabad House is a center for Jewish activities and connection, typically led by Chabad emissaries. Its programs may include Torah classes, prayer, Shabbat meals, holiday activities and support for Jewish practice. The exact offerings depend on the community.
Do not assume every center provides the same schedule, facilities or services. Contact the local team and explain what you need. A first visit can be a class, a conversation or a community event rather than a commitment to take part in every activity.
A place to begin
- Find the local center through an official directory.
- Ask about the program you want rather than assuming availability.
- Confirm times, access needs and any registration requirements.
