[edit] History

Kfar Khabad was established in 1949 by Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn.^[1] The site was originally an Arab village called Tzafariyya, whose inhabitants fled during the 1948 War. The first inhabitants were mostly recent immigrants from the Soviet Union, survivors of the terrors of World War II and Stalinist oppression. Kfar Khabad, which is located just outside Lod and about 8 km south-east of Tel Aviv, includes agricultural lands as well as numerous educational institutions. It serves as the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidic movement in the Holy Land. Kfar Khabad is a Lubavitch community. In 1956, fedayeen terrorists entered the synagogue during morning prayers and murdered five children and one teacher, another ten were injured. ^[2]

[edit] Education

"Kfar Khabad is particularly known for its vocational and technical schools. Established with separate classrooms and dormitories for boys and girls, these schools provide rigorous vocational training coupled with intensive religious study. Generally, boys specialize in printing, mechanics, carpentry, or agricultural work, and girls focus mainly on careers in education. Few of the youngsters who arrive at Kfar Khabad each fall from all over Israel are themselves Hasidim." Furthemore, "The Lubavitchers ... settlement in Israel has been a deliberate effort to reverse the modern trend toward Jewish assimilation."^[3]
