About
Chabad-Lubavitch, founded in 1772 by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, is a dynamic Jewish philosophy, movement, and organization rooted in the principles of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Based for over a century in the town of Lubavitch - meaning "brotherly love" - the movement blends deep Torah scholarship with modern outreach and technology to serve Jewish communities worldwide. Under the leadership of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994), Chabad expanded globally, revitalizing Jewish life through thousands of institutions and emissaries. Chabad on Campus offers inclusive, non-judgmental support for Jewish students at over 346 colleges, providing spiritual, educational, and social programs in a welcoming atmosphere. At Syracuse University, Rabbi Mendy and Mrs. Lakey Rapoport lead Chabad SU with warmth and dedication, building on a family legacy of outreach. Both bring rich backgrounds in Jewish education and international Chabad work, and since their arrival in 2023 - with daughters Chaya Mushka and Menucha Rochel - they have been committed to creating a true "home away from home" for every Jewish student and to grow Jewish life at Syracuse University.

Daily Thought
Some people think that if they were truly spiritual, they would never eat.
In truth, few acts are as divine as eating food.
Eating is similar to sifting gold. You grasp the divine spark within a food and reject the dross. And then, in the mitzvahs energized by that food, you carry that divine spark back to its origin within the oneness of its Creator.
That is why there are foods that are forbidden and foods that are permissible. The Hebrew word for “forbidden” is assur—meaning tied down. “Permissible” is mutar—untied.
Kosher means “fit.” Foods that are assur are not fit for the divine act of eating...
