Chabad Movement

Motivated by his profound love for every Jew and spurred by his boundless optimism and self-sacrifice, the Rebbe set into motion a dazzling array of programs, services and institutions to serve every Jew.

Chabad's underlying philosophy is "Ahavat Yisrael" (love for a fellow Jew). Chabad recognises no differences between Jews; its goal is to serve the spiritual and physical needs of each Jew regardless of affiliation, wherever he or she may be, with understanding and with love.

Chabad House Perth of Western Australia was established in 1987 as part of The Rebbe's vision to bring Judaism to every Jew of the World. Chabad House is a branch of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, comprising of 2,700 institutions worldwide.

Chabad serves the Jewish community from its current centre in Dianella with a Synagogue, Hebrew School, adult education, social and humanitarian outreach programs and a vibrant youth program including holiday camps and numerous other activities.

The word "Chabad" is a Hebrew acronym for the three intellectual faculties of: Chochmah - wisdom, B inah - comprehension, and D a'at - knowledge.
