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.

This is the way of every true and lasting ascent: Just as you’re making some progress upward, you see yourself falling away and stumbling in the dark. If you could see the whole picture, how all things resolve in the end, you would see how those periods of darkness and failure are truly steps higher and yet higher. They must be. Because we did not create life. G‑d did. And for Him, there are...
