Chabad is a community-based nonprofit organization whose efforts are rooted in traditional Jewish values -- and many of its programs help the needy regardless of background or belief. Chabad came to Northwest Connecticut in 1996, and has grown to be the leading social service, educational and Jewish arts organization in the region; from hospital visitations to holiday programs, Camp Gan Israel to the New England Jewish Music and Art Festival. Thanks to generous supporters, Chabad has been able to educate, comfort, and give hope to countless people in need. Chabad Lubavitch of Northwest Connecticut never stops responding to the call of the soul. Indeed, people helping people is not an item on the agenda. It is the agenda. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
