Kfar Chabad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kfar Chabad is a Chabad-Lubavitch community of about 400 families located near Tel Aviv. It was established in 1949 by Joseph Isaac Schneersohn.[1] A synagogue is located in the village.
The first inhabitants were mostly recent immigrants from the Soviet Union, survivors of the terrors of World War II and Stalinist oppression. Kfar Chabad, which is located about five miles south of Tel Aviv and includes agricultural lands as well as numerous educational institutions, serves as the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidic movement in the Holy Land.
Previous mayors include Shlema Medonchick.
