Chabad
Chabad is a Jewish movement with a bold vision and a simple philosophy. The vision is to bring Judaism to every single Jew on earth, no matter where they are. The philosophy is to be inclusive of all Jews, regardless of their background. With over 4,000 Shluchim (emissaries) around the globe, Chabad is the largest Jewish outreach organization in the world today.
