For more than half a century in the United States, Chabad-Lubavitch has been the vanguard of Jewish continuity. It is the only Jewish organization with a global network of human resources capable of facilitating the most dramatic and innovative outreach programs worldwide.

Catering to the broad range of needs that arise in any Jewish community – from the small ones in isolated and distant places, to those in bustling metropolises – are more than 2,400 Chabad-Lubavitch centers. Whether by request or on its own initiative, Chabad-Lubavitch dispatches representative to a given location, and a barren landscape is soon transformed: Talmud Torahs, day schools, synagogues, libraries, mikvahs and more, make Judaism come alive, and enable Jewish people to begin to experience real Jewish living.

Spearheading all of these activities was our beloved Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. After his passing in 1994, many wondered how Chabad-Lubavitch would carry on. But wild speculation soon gave way to respectful recognition and renewed confidence: Chabad-Lubavitch continues to grow ...existing centers are expanding… new ones continue to emerge … and our outreach activities are growing exponentially. Toward the fulfillment of the Rebbe’s vision, the movement is strong and enduring, with several thousands of Shluchim – men and women – passionately committed to the mission of Chabad-Lubavitch.

Through the diverse activities of Chabad-Lubavitch institutions, Jewish life has achieved a level of visibility and viability unlike any it has known in recent history. Our international network of Chabad-Lubavitch centers in more than 50 countries around the world has put a living Jewish community within the reach of any Jew, nearly anywhere, ensuring universal Jewish awareness with the promise of Jewish continuity.

Shabbat Candles for Peace is a project of The Shluchim Office, the resource center for all Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries around the world. For over a decade, The Shluchim Office has been providing guidance and support to the more than 3,000 Shluchim (emissaries) who are dedicated to igniting sparks of Jewish life around the world.
