ABOUT US
Chabad-Lubavitch is a philosophy, a movement, and an organization. The philosophy is based on the continuous refinement and growth of one's intellectual understanding of the world, the movement promotes acceptance and love for every Jew, and the organization is composed of thousands of institutions and even more individuals around the world dedicated to helping fellow Jews and doing acts of goodness and kindness.
​
Chabad-Lubavitch is guided by the teachings of its seven leaders (“Rebbes”), beginning with Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1745–1812). The last of Chabad’s Rebbes, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, is known simply as “the Rebbe.”
​
Motivated by his philosophy of love for every Jew and spurred by a revolutionary vision of a connected Jewish world, the Rebbe set into motion an array of programs, services and institutions, among them a network of emissaries sent to establish Jewish centers all across the world.
​
Their sole mission? To support any Jew in need.
​
Today, this network has developed into a system of over 5,000 full-time emissary families that apply 250-year-old principles and philosophy to direct more than 3,500+ Chabad centers and 1,500+ institutions in more than 100 countries (and in all 50 states) dedicated solely to the welfare of Jewish people worldwide.
​
Chabad’s Jewish centers provide services to everyone from college students to families to professionals and the elderly, finding practical ways to educate, connect, and inspire with Jews of all ages, backgrounds, interests and affiliations.
​
Chabad of Tiburon is honored to join these ranks and continue to bring the Rebbe’s vision for connected world Jewry to life.
