Chabad is an international movement dedicated to aiding every single Jew in connecting to our heritage. The inspiration and guiding force to this movement is the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson of righteous memory. He shared his love towards G‑d and the Jewish nation with his followers, his Chassidim, resulting in Chabad outreach. Chabad in the greater Louisiana area now has four centers.
