About
When Chabad of Waukesha opened its doors in 2012, it joined over 3500 independently run centers that are dedicated to carrying out the Rebbe's legacy. From Shanghai to Kishinev, from Alaska to Zaire, the Rebbe's shluchim (emissaries) and their families continue to realize the Rebbe's foremost objective: to bring the joy and celebration of Judaism to each and every Jew, and thereby to the entire world.
Inspired by the Rebbe, Chabad of Waukesha's guiding principles is Ahavas Yisroel, unconditional love for every individual. We are dedicated to providing each and every Jew in Waukesha regardless of background or degree of commitment the opportunity to discover and experience the beauty of our shared heritage in a warm, welcoming and non-judgemental environment.

Daily Thought
The words and the stories of Torah are but its clothing; the guidance within them is its body.
And as with a body, within that guidance breathes a soul that gives life to whoever follows it.
And within that soul breathes a deeper, transcendental soul, the soul of the soul: G‑d Himself within His Torah.
Grasp the clothes alone, and you are like the student who hears the words but not the thoughts. Grasp straight for the soul—or even the body—and you will come up with nothing. They are not graspable; they are G‑dly wisdom, and you are a created being.
Instead, examine those words and those stories...
