About Chabad Shenzhen
Shenzhen, China's thriving economic city, now boasts a growing Jewish community. In 2006, Rabbi Shalom and Henny Chazan were invited by Rabbi Mordechai Avtzon of Chabad Hong Kong to lead Chabad of Shenzhen. This organization has evolved beyond a mere synagogue, becoming the heart and soul of the local Jewish community and a home away from home to the countless visitors passing through. Chabad of Shenzhen is the go-to address for the needs of the community and visitors, embracing all who come through its doors.
Chabad Shenzhen serves as a hub of Jewish life on a daily basis as Jewish visitors from all walks of life and all corners of the globe come together to pray, dine, or just spend time in conversation. They leave their homes behind because they know that thanks to Chabad, they can be Jewish anywhere.
Chabad Shenzhen is also home to a close-knit local Jewish community. Full-fledged Shabbat dinners, special holiday events, weekly children’s programs and adult education are only some of the ways this warm community comes together.
Chabad Shenzhen is here 24/7 to serve the Jewish people in the city. Come by anytime, the doors are open!

About the Rabbe
The Philosophy
Chabad-Lubavitch is a philosophy, a movement, and an organization. It is considered to be the most dynamic force in Jewish life today.
Lubavitch appropriately means the “city of brotherly love”The word “Chabad” is a Hebrew acronym for the three intellectual faculties of chochmah—wisdom, binah—comprehension and da’at—knowledge. The movement’s system of Jewish religious philosophy, the deepest dimension of G‑d’s Torah, teaches understanding and recognition of the Creator, the role and purpose of creation, and the importance and unique mission of each creature. This philosophy guides a person to refine and govern his or her every act and feeling through wisdom, comprehension and knowledge.
The word “Lubavitch” is the name of the town in White Russia where the movement was based for more than a century. Appropriately, the word Lubavitch in Russian means the “city of brotherly love.” The name Lubavitch conveys the essence of the responsibility and love engendered by the Chabad philosophy toward every single Jew.
The Movement
Following its inception 250 years ago, the Chabad-Lubavitch movement—a branch of Hasidism—swept through Russia and spread in surrounding countries as well. It provided scholars with answers that eluded them, and simple farmers with a love that had been denied them. Eventually the philosophy of Chabad-Lubavitch and its adherents reached almost every corner of the world and affected almost every facet of Jewish life.
The Leadership
No person or detail was too small or insignificant for their love and dedicationThe movement is guided by the teachings of its seven leaders (“Rebbes”), beginning with Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi of righteous memory (1745–1812). These leaders expounded upon the most refined and delicate aspects of Jewish mysticism, creating a corpus of study thousands of books strong. They personified the age-old Biblical qualities of piety and leadership. And they concerned themselves not only with Chabad-Lubavitch, but with the totality of Jewish life, spiritual and physical. No person or detail was too small or insignificant for their love and dedication.
In our generation, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory (1902–1994), known simply as “the Rebbe,” guided post-holocaust Jewry to safety from the ravages of that devastation.
