The Okanagan Chabad House

Welcome to Chabad Okanagan, a warm and welcoming Jewish centre dedicated to making the world better by sharing the warmth, wisdom, joy, and depth of Judaism with every person we have the privilege of meeting.

At the heart of Judaism is the belief that every single human is created by Almighty G‑d in the very image of His own infinite dignity and purpose, and is then endowed with their own unique soul and path in life.

Not all souls are identical. Not all people are meant to walk the same path. Judaism is passionate about the fact that the beauty of humanity is not found in sameness, but rather in people bringing their unique gifts and perspectives, and their personal strengths and light to help build a more compassionate, meaningful, complete and peaceful world.

For this reason, authentic Judaism has never centred itself around proselytizing, and is in fact opposed to trying to make everyone part of one faith.
