Editing Kfar Chabad (section)

== Village Name ==
Over the years, there was a struggle regarding the name of the village. Initially, the village was called "Safria" after the Arab village that was located there, and then "Lod Heh." Later, the Names Committee decided to Hebraize the Arabic name to "Moshav Shafrir." In 5715 (1955), the village residents, following the Rebbe's instructions, requested to change the name to "Kfar Chabad." The Rebbe subsequently worked to change the name to "Kfar Chabad" in various documents and in the press. The name eventually entered public awareness after the massacre at the vocational school.

On one occasion, the Rebbe explained the meaning of the name: "Kfar" (village) - according to what is explained in Chassidus that a person who is "a villager" is more impressed by seeing the king, similarly when Moshiach comes, the village residents will be greatly impressed, and "Chabad" - from which the wellsprings of Chabad will spread forth.
