Its main purpose is to disseminate and make accessible the teachings of Chabad Hasidism and the history of the Chabad movement to the general public.

Chabadpedia operates through wiki software for online encyclopedias, also used by large encyclopedias like Wikipedia, with a version tailored to the observant Jewish community such as WikiYeshiva, Halachipedia and others. It presents to the reader all available knowledge about Chabad Hasidism, its leaders, and its teachings, with an emphasis on matters of redemption and Messiah. Chabadpedia also covers other topics related to Chabad Chassidus and Judaism in general.

==History==

Significant importance was given by the [[Rebbe]] to the editing of compilations and key Torah books, as well as to projects such as the Talmudic Encyclopedia and the Chabad Encyclopedia project. The Rebbe also encouraged the publication of books that collect the names and pictures of students of yeshivas and supporters of Chabad around the world, such as the book "Lubavitch and its Soldiers" and later "The Tzaddikim Book". Similarly, the album "The Shluchim Book" received special attention, featuring pictures of the Rebbe's emissaries and their families, as well as from Chabad institutions worldwide.

The Rebbe's view on the importance of harnessing technology for holiness and spreading the springs is well known. As the Rebbe said during the 'Chanukah Live' event in 1992, broadcast via satellite worldwide: "Since 'all that God created in His world, He created only for His honor' (Avot 6:11), it is understood, as it applies also to all scientific discoveries that have been renewed and are being revealed in recent years, 'their purpose and goal' is to add to the honor of God, by exploiting them for purposes of holiness, Torah, and its commandments."

With the rise of collaborative encyclopedias on the Internet in the early 2000s, students at Tomchei Temimim Central Yeshiva 770 initiated, with the support of the Chabad Info website, the establishment of a collaborative Chabad encyclopedia on the Internet.

Chabadpedia was founded on the 24th of Sivan, 5767 (2007), with 1000 articles. Its first name was 'Infopedia', named after the Chabad Info website, which sponsored it.

Chabadpedia deals primarily with articles dealing with the teachings of Hasidism, given that the revelation of the King Messiah to the Baal Shem Tov depends on the spread of Torah springs to the other side.

In addition, due to the words of the Rebbe that "the straight path to bring redemption is to study matters of redemption and Messiah", values on these topics are central and central to Chabadpedia.
