The Lubavitcher Rebbe

The Lubavitcher Rebbe:
A Legacy of Love & Leadership

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, was one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the modern era. His love for every Jew, his deep wisdom, and his unwavering belief in the power of one good deed continue to inspire people across the world. To the Rebbe, no Jew was ever too distant, and no place too remote. He believed that every soul has a unique purpose, and that even the smallest act of kindness can bring light to the darkest corner.

Under his vision, a global network of Chabad emissaries was born—men and women who dedicate their lives to uplifting individuals, strengthening communities, and bringing the joy of Judaism to every corner of the earth. His legacy lives on in every smile shared, every mitzvah done, and every heart touched with warmth and meaning.

Our Story

Chabad House – Lubavitch Jewish Center of North & South Brunswick has been a vibrant part of the community for decades. Founded in 1978 by Rabbi Yosef Carlebach as part of Chabad of Central and South Jersey, the center has grown through years of impactful programs and outreach.

Recognizing the need for dedicated leadership, Rabbi Carlebach appointed a full-time rabbi to serve the North & South Brunswick communities. In 1998, Rabbi Mendy Carlebach launched a series of successful youth initiatives, including the Model Matzah Bakery, Shofar Factory, and Chanukah Olive Oil Press.

Chabad of North & South Brunswick is proudly affiliated with Chabad House at Rutgers University, America’s largest Chabad House under the direction of Rabbi Yosef Carlebach.
