Get Involved

Every act of goodness and kindness makes the world a brighter place. There are so many ways to connect, contribute, and grow with Chabad of Albania.

What is Chabad?

The word Chabad is a Hebrew acronym for three intellectual faculties that guide a person to refine and govern every act and feeling through the deepest dimensions of the soul.

ח

Chochmah

חָכְמָה — Wisdom

The initial spark of insight. That first flash of understanding before it takes shape — the seed of every idea and revelation. Wisdom is the ability to see truth as it is.

ב

Binah

בִּינָה — Understanding

The faculty of comprehension and analysis. Taking the spark of wisdom and expanding it, understanding its depth, breadth, and implications for life and action.

ד

Da'at

דַּעַת — Knowledge

The bridge between mind and heart. Knowledge that becomes so internalized it transforms into feeling, commitment, and tangible action in the world.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994), the seventh leader of Chabad-Lubavitch

Remember that in a hall of perfect darkness, totally dark, if you light one small candle, its light will be seen from afar; its precious light will be seen by everyone.
— The Rebbe
One must go to a place where nothing is known of Godliness, nothing is known of Judaism, and while there, put one's own self aside and ensure that the other calls out to God.
— The Rebbe, on the mission of Shluchim
The world will be a better place when we focus on what we can give, rather than what we can get.
— The Rebbe
Known simply as "The Rebbe," Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson guided post-war Jewry with extraordinary vision. He dispatched thousands of emissaries (Shluchim) across the globe — including to Albania — to ensure that no Jew would ever be alone. His philosophy: every person matters, every act of kindness counts, and "good leaders create followers, but great leaders create leaders."
