770 Eastern Parkway: Difference between revisions

770 (Official name: Agudas Chasidei Chabad World Headquarters - Ohel Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch. Nickname: Seven Seventy) is the Rebbe's beis medrash and the global center of Chabad Chassidus and shluchim. 770 is where the Rebbe davens and farbrengs, and where the Rebbe says 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 place serves as a focal point for Chabad chassidim and Yidden from around the world throughout the year, especially during Tishrei and on dates of Chabad events. The location also serves as a tourist attraction for non-Jews. The building is located at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.
