Rabbi Isaac Luria – The Ari Hakodosh Accessed January 13, 2015.</ref> The Alter Rebbe instituted various other rulings of Jewish Law, including the use of stainless steel knives for the slaughter of animals before human consumption, which are now universally accepted in all sects of Judaism. General Chabad minhagim (customs) distinguish the movement from other Chassidic groups. Some of the main Chabad customs are minor practices performed on traditional [[Jewish holidays]]:

* [[Pesach]] – It is customary in Chabad communities to limit contact of ''[[matzah]]'' (an unleavened bread ~~eaten on Passover~~) with water. This custom is called [[gebrokts~~]] (געבראָכטס, lit.~~ '~~broken~~'). However, on the last day of ~~Passover~~, it is customary to intentionally have matzah come in contact with water.<ref>www.chabad.org. Gebrokts: Wetted Matzah. Accessed January 13, 2015.</ref>
