Fort Wayne Chabad Jewish Center

The Fort Wayne Chabad Jewish Center is founded on the principle that, while Jews embrace many levels of observance in their personal lives, there should be a place for all Jews — no labels, no affiliations — to develop a sense of community, to enhance the experience of being Jewish, to learn and to have fun.

Chabad is just that place. By focusing on the individual's relationship to Judaism, Chabad appeals to all segments of the Jewish community. By offering a wide range of activities for adults, children and the whole family, Chabad follows many paths to enrich Jewish life in our community. And by bringing many different ideas together, Chabad can help you find The Jewish Community in your heart.

A: Chabad Fort Wayne is one of more than 4000 branches of today's largest international organization involved with Jewish education and outreach programs.

Chabad and Lubavitch are in fact synonymous terms referring to the same organization. Embracing the philosophy of the Chabad Lubavitch Movement, which originated in the town of Lubavitch in White Russia during the 18th century, Lubavitch's underlying doctrine is "Ahavat Yisrael" (love for a fellow Jew). Chabad recognizes no differences between Jews; its goal is to serve the spiritual and physical needs of each Jew regardless of affiliation, wherever he or she may be, with understanding and with love.
