In addition to centres, schools, Yeshivot and offices, there is an additional unique concept: the Chabad House. This was conceived long ago by the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Today there are some 2500 Chabad Houses all over the world, in virtually every country where there are Jews. They have proved to be exceptionally successful in helping people, young and old, men and women, to discover the inspiration which is available from Jewish teaching and culture.

A Chabad House helps the existing communal organisations (where present) to face the increasing challenge to generate stimulating Jewish experience for adults, teenagers and children. The typical Chabad House incorporates a Library/resource-Centre and provides educational and recreational activities in relaxed surroundings. The directors of the Chabad House are a husband-and-wife team who together create an atmosphere of warm hospitality, welcoming every Jew, whatever his or her level of observance or affiliation.
