'''Chabad House''' is a Jewish center where shluchim (emissaries), Chabad chassidim, carry out their activities. These are the Rebbe of Lubavitch's shluchim who are sent to places where there are Jews in order to establish Jewish community infrastructure or to strengthen existing institutions. Chabad Houses were first established in the 1950s (5710s). Each Chabad House has a director-shliach who oversees the organizational and financial aspects of the Chabad House. Usually, there are additional institutions under the management of the Chabad House, such as synagogues, mikvahs, schools and yeshivas, stores for holy items and kosher food, chesed centers, and more. | The '''Chabad House''' is a Jewish center where shluchim (emissaries), Chabad chassidim, carry out their activities.
