I recently visited a Chabad House. Could you please explain what the word “Chabad” means?
Answer
“Chabad” is an acronym for Chochmah, Binah, and Da’at, which represent three types of intellectual powers. The Chabad movement is thus called because its founder, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1813), based his philosophy on internal change of emotional makeup and attributes through learning and contemplation.
You are welcome to find out more through attending classes on Chabad teachings, or through the internet.
