MISSION STATEMENT
Chabad UIowa is dedicated to promoting and strengthening Jewish awareness, pride, and observance, by providing educational, cultural, and social services to all Jewish individuals regardless of background, philosophy or level of commitment. The fundamental principle of Chabad UIowa is unconditional love and acceptance of every Jew.
Chabad UIowa offers Jewish religious, educational, social and cultural services.
Chabad UIowa is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, founded in 2001. It is an affiliate of the worldwide Chabad Lubavitch movement,
Chabad Lubavitch is a Jewish Chassidic movement and a Jewish outreach organization - with over 5000 branches worldwide - that embraces the millennia-old traditions of Judaism with a welcoming, modern and inspiring approach. Chabad's underlying principle is genuine love for and unquestioning acceptance of every Jew.
Rabbi Avremel & Chaya Blesofsky, directors of Chabad UIowa, welcome you to join our many programs and services.
Jews — from all backgrounds and affiliations — are the constituents we serve. Chabad prefers to ignore the unhelpful 'labels' that so often serve to divide us. "A Jew is a Jew." We are one people. We have one G‑d, one Torah, and one land. Chabad endeavors to bring unity among the Jewish community through our common bond of Jewish faith and observance.
There are no prerequisites for getting involved with Chabad. Whether you are affiliated or not, whether you have much Jewish background or none at all, you are always welcome to benefit from our programs. We are here to serve you and your family. You need not be a member at Chabad; you need not agree with everything Chabad believes.
If you're Jewish, you belong at Chabad.
