lubavuse

Lubavuse is a term associated with a branch of Orthodox Judaism known as Chabad-Lubavitch. The movement, founded in the late 18th century in the Russian Empire, emphasizes Hasidic philosophy and a dedication to spreading Jewish awareness and practice. The name "Lubavitch" itself refers to the town in Belarus where the movement was headquartered for over a century. Followers of Lubavitch are often referred to as "Lubavitchers" or simply "Chabad."

The core of Lubavitch philosophy, as articulated by its rebbes (spiritual leaders), centers on the concept of "Chochmah, Binah, Da'at" (Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge) as a pathway to connecting with God. They advocate for a proactive approach to Judaism, encouraging outreach to all Jews regardless of their level of observance. This outreach is carried out through a global network of Chabad Houses, centers that offer a wide range of religious, educational, and social services. The movement is known for its energetic and accessible approach to Jewish life and its commitment to sharing Jewish teachings with a broader audience.
