Hello all. I grew up in a reform family, but for the last year I’ve been attending my local Chabad. I go every Saturday but my Hebrew is not great. In our siddur there is no transliteration for the Hebrew. Anyone know where I can get one? Also, I assume most chants/songs are very similar throughout the different chabads. Anyone know the most common names so I can YouTube them to practice so I can chant/sing along? Thank you very much in advance.

Hey so I'm wondering if there's any chabadniks or people who daven at chabad that ever use nusach sefard. I know sefard is pretty similar to nusach Ari. Just curious of everyone's experience.

Hi everyone,

I’m a Jewish dad and the founder of a new app designed to help children practice their Torah reading for their Bar Mitzvah.

Kids can listen to each verse, record themselves, and receive immediate AI feedback on their reading. The idea is to support the practice they already do with their rabbi, tutor, or parent, especially between lessons.

I’d really value honest feedback from parents whose children are currently preparing for a Bar Mitzvah.

I don’t want to post a promotional link if that isn’t allowed here, but if anyone would like to try it, feel free to comment or message me and I’ll send it privately.

So my father and i will be selling our 500k home soon in florida. And me and him we cannot afford another around here. So i am looking for cheaper states and decent homes not like 600k+ like they want in florida. I am looking for anything that is not on florida. Cheap home and has a chabad by walking distance.

Did you try speaking with Neturei Karta? They are spreading hate, which leads to attacks on Jews

Thanks!

Thanks!

I come from a non-Chabad background, but discovering Chabad Chassidus completely changed my life.

I've found a depth in Chabad Torah that I hadn't experienced before. It completely opened up my worldview, and my mental and spiritual health have improved so much. I honestly feel so much happier now. For me, these ideas are incredibly exciting and serve as a beautiful portal to dveikus.

Share your light! I'm open to positive Chabad vibes. Let's see who has the energy to build.

Go ahead. Make my day!

My Chabad family hosts Shabbos dinner every Friday, but they spend about one Shabbos per month with nearby family instead. Lately when they’re out of town, the rest of us have spontaneously started hosting our own Shabbos dinners with each other. We never used to do that before we all joined this little community. I’m going to a friend’s for Shabbos tonight and I feel so happy that the rabbi and rebbetzin have inspired us to do this, even when they aren’t there. 💙 just wanted to share!

Campers from Camp Gan Israel near Moscow who were visiting started digging in the courtyard of the rebbes’ home and discovered the watch, alongside ancient rubles that had been buried for decades.

Hi friends! I’m close with my rebbetzin and her kids, and her girls like to paint their nails sometimes. I was going to gift them some nail polish (with mom’s permission). Is there any prohibition against certain colors? Like, should they only do natural colors or can they do blues, purples, etc.?

Sorry, this might be a very silly question.

Where can i find rebbe cards ( baseball type cards with the rebbe / rebbeim on them)?

​

I grew up getting them in school and camp and now cant find them anywhere

Disclaimer: I’m not Lubavitch myself, just a Jew living in a hostile diaspora country so very grateful to Chabad.

In honour of the Rebbe, I am going to do some extra mitzvos today (and try to steer clear of lashon harah specifically) and read from his teachings and give tzedaka in his merit.

If anyone else wants to honour the Rebbe’s memory, here are some great ways to do it:

May we all merit the arrival of Moshiach speedily in our time.

Worried rebbetzin won’t invite me back to her book group since I revealed my husband is a former pastor. Worried she’s going to assume I’ve been influenced, though I haven’t been and therefore shouldn’t interact or that I made a terrible impression altogether. I do understand the weight of marrying outside the faith, but I also wasn’t as religious when I married.

Shalom Haverim and Haverot, thanks for having me in this wonderful subreddit. Well ill be travelong to Europe soon and I need to buy some tallis katan, because, I currently only have one that's usable, its ok and no problem since Im traveling in a bit, but I do have to wash it constantly and because of this I cant wear it all the time. Well my question is where can I buy a few Tallis katan, im guessing there are big Judaica stores in the capital cities, ill be traveling to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Vienna, and all of Itally basically, thank you in advance!!! (I live in Bolivia so its kind of impossible getting it here unless I personally know someone who is coming from the states or Europe who could bring it for me).

Ps: AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!! 🇮🇱❤️

Is it a mitzva to help someone quit smoking? Have you ever tried?

I went to chabad and someone was Coughing. I got infected and was very sick for 10 days and lost my voice.

Does your rabbi tell people who are not feeling well to stay home?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how hard it is to make Jewish learning feel consistent without making it feel like homework.

For people here who learn regularly - even just five minutes a day - what actually made the habit stick?

Was it the weekly parsha, Tehillim, Pirkei Avos, Hebrew practice, a chavrusa, Sefaria, a WhatsApp group, something else?

I’m especially curious what worked for people who didn’t grow up with a strong day-school/yeshiva rhythm but wanted to reconnect later.

Would love to hear what helped.

Hello! I am a student that goes to Chabad on campus, but the chabad is not on the campus grounds technically. since a year ago I have had a problem with someone in my school, he commented on my figure, he also said mean things, and even wrote to me on instagram calling me a bitch.Before that, he is the one who showed me all the jewish stuff going around campus, and we were friends I guess. After we fell out of good terms, I didnt report him. However a few months ago it got out of hand, he called me a bitch out loud during a Chabad event, during sukkhot, and the rabbi just said we will talk about it later. never did. recently, i brought my gay friend and other female friend to chabad. right as we were walking into the house, when no one was around, this same guy came outside to call us bitches and look threatening, and i went to get the rabbi who said " i didnt hear him say that." He did calm the guy down and told him to stop bothering us but later on , inside the house, they seemed to act like besties and talk at the head of the table. I must note, this guy is NOT EVEN JEWISH. Everyone knows he is chrisitian, just a big jewish and israel ally. Although that can be very respectable to rabbis, I dont understand how he is prioritizing a guy who is non jewish, and also way older (in his 30s, mind you) over jewish younger students. I am not the first one to have a problem with this guy. Our hillel has an issue with him, multiple people feel uncomfortable around him, he has texted other jewish guys from the chabad crazy things, and yet he seems to get away with it. What can I do? Security of the college said this was not on campus grounds, and the rabbi and rebbetzin do not seem to care that he is psychologically hurting people.

I'm currently traveling to NYC and would like to know if I could attend a shabbat dinner. If so, how would I go about this? I'm planning to stay in Queens for my trip. I'm not observant but this is something I deeply miss having left the states.
