Mission Statement
Chabad NP seeks to educate and involve Jews of all ages in an inviting, welcoming and meaningful environment, to increase Jewish pride, Jewish knowledge, and Jewish community.
About Chabad of the North Peninsula
Chabad is one of the largest and fastest growing Jewish educational organizations, with over 3,700 centers worldwide—from Shanghai to Hartford, from Costa Rica to Safed. Chabad is devoted to providing Jewish education on all levels in a friendly, non-judgmental environment through creative and innovative programs and activities.
To many, the word Chabad connotes a warm smile, an unconditional love for every human being and an extraordinary commitment to Jewish education. Chabad's doors are open to all, regardless of affiliation, background or current level of Jewish practice and knowledge.
Chabad's success and dedication is in large measure due to the passion and vision of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of blessed memory, who led Chabad from 1950 until his passing in 1994. See www.therebbe.org.
