770 | '''770 Eastern Parkway''', formaly '''Agudas Chasidei Chabad - Ohel Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch''' (also known as Chabad World Headquarters, or simply as 770 or "Seven Seventy") is the Rebbe's Shul and Beis Medrash and the global center of the Chabad movement. Thousands of Chassidim, shluchim, and friends of Lubavitch visit 770 each year. 770 is where [[the Rebbe]] davens and farbrengs, and where the Rebbe says [[Sicha|sichos]] and maamarim. The Rebbe also receives people for yechidus there and conducts the dollars distribution. | ||
The Rebbe refers to this place as a "triple house," meaning a house where the three pillars upon which the world stands are cultivated: "A house of Torah," "A house of avodah," and "A house of gemilus chassadim." When the Frierdiker Rebbe entered the building, he established Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim there, along with the shul, and opened a gemach fund. During the chanukas habayis, he delivered a maamar beginning with Chazal's statement "The world stands on three things." | The Rebbe refers to this place as a "triple house," meaning a house where the three pillars upon which the world stands are cultivated: "A house of Torah," "A house of avodah," and "A house of gemilus chassadim."
