A Chabad house is a centre for disseminating Orthodox Judaism by the Chabad movement. Chabad Houses are controlled by the local Shliach emissary to a certain place by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who founded all Chabad Houses. Chabad houses are where the Shliach and Shlucha (Rabbi and his wife) host programs, activities, and/or services for the local Jewish community and tourists. These centers exist today around the world, and serve as a Jewish community center that provides educational and outreach activities serving the needs of the entire Jewish community, regardless of degree of observance.[1] Each center aims to provide a cozy and informal place to learn about and observe Judaism,[2] and provides an atmosphere such that all Jews feel comfortable at Chabad events.[3] Some are in or very near college campuses, others are not. Chabad houses are typically run by a Chabad Rabbi and Rebbetzin, often with the assistance of unmarried Chabad boys or girls, or, in the case of more developed Chabad houses, with the assistance of a second or even third married couple.
