Chabad of Basel

Chabad House

Chabad House in Basel, Switzerland, led by Rabbi Zalman Wishedski.

A single word that expresses the philosophy of Chabad Lubavitch all over the world.

Chabad houses are open to all human beings, accepting them as they are: it doesn’t matter where they come from or what they’re doing with their lives.

Are you interested in Talmud? Maybe Kabbalah? Something from the weekly Torah portion? We have what to offer.

The children want to sing “Lecha Dodi”, and you find that you would like a bit of gefilte fish with horseradish? Kabbalat Shabbat services in the Chabad House are the answer.
