'''Chabad Chassidus''' is a system of teachings that primarily relates to the human capacity to understand godliness and to utilise this knowledge in the service of the Creator. These teachings are sometimes referred to as '''Chabad philosophy''', and is presented as the total collection of teachings of the Chassidic founders and the Seven Rebbes of [[Chabad-Lubavitch]]. Major themes in Chabad philosophy include the nature of divinity, the soul, and the meaning of the 613 commandments.

Its foundations and guidance were revealed in the middle of the sixth millennium of creation in Central Europe by [[the Baal Shem Tov]], and spread through his many students until it reached Jerusalem.

Chassidus is essentially an explanation of [[Kabbalah]], detailing the structure of spiritual worlds, the chain of creation and formation of the world, and teaches the hidden reasons for Torah mitzvos. Chassidus emphasizes that learning must be soulful learning that leads to practical improvement in character traits, and mere academic study is insufficient. Similarly, the fulfillment of all mitzvos must be done with inner vitality and intellectual contemplation. As the Baal Shem Tov said, "I came to this world only to fix and enliven the dry bones, so that everything should have vitality and a soul."
