About Us

Chabad at the Shore is one of more then 2500 branches of today's largest international organization involved with Jewish education and outreach programs.  Embracing the philosophy of the Chabad Lubavitch Movement, which originated in the town of Lubavitch in White Russia during the 18th century.  Chabad'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.

By means of a rare combination that blends traditional Judaism with modern day techniques, Chabad has found the formula to develop a rapport with the most alienated of Jews and to enhance their outlook.  By arousing an intellectual and/or emotional interest in our faith, Chabad Lubavitch has become the catalyst to connect Jews with their Jewish roots and revive the sparks of Jewish consciousness in the hearts and minds of each Jew.
 
Under the direction of Rabbi Shmuel Rapoport & Rabbi Avrohom Rapoport, Chabad House of Atlantic County located itself adjacent to the Martin & Betty Jewish Community Center, the heart of the Jewish Community. Chabad House offers youth programs, adult education courses, holiday awareness and chaplaincy services.  Many have enjoyed traditional Shabbat and Holiday meals at the Chabad House.  Chabad of Atlantic County has fast become a "one-stop" address for the Jewish community. 

 Chabad looks beyond the labels of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism. "A Jew is a Jew is a Jew - Period."  We have gotten too carried away with the adjectives - the noun is universal - Jew.  We have one Torah, we are one people, we have one G-d and one land.   Chabad endeavors to bring unity among the Jewish community through our common bond of Jewish faith and observance.
