About Us
Who Are We?
Almost in every point in the world, you will find a local Chabad House center. The Chabad House serves as a lamplighter, for all people, Jews and non-Jews. The goal of the chabad House is to spread acts of goodness and kindness, and help people materially and spiritually.
Over 50 years ago, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe King Moshiach, became the 7th Rebbe, in the Lubavitcher Rebbes dynasty, he emphasized that our generation is” the last generation of exile and the first generation of the Redemption”. The purpose of our generation is to prepare the world for the imminent coming of Moshiach. The Rebbe cares and is concerned about every human being. That is why the Rebbe sent his emissaries, to the farthest reaching corners of the world.
In December 1999, Rabbi Binyomin Y. Edery received a blessing from the Lubavitcher Rebbe King Moshiach to open the first Chabad Tokyo Japan.
The Rebbe wrote: ’’in these days of Chanuka, when the spiritual and G-dly was victorious over the material, we have the power to spread forth G-dliness, Judaism and good deeds.
Now that you are going during these days of Chanuka, to a place of spiritual darkness, it is appropriate to spread the wellsprings of chassidut, especially in such a place. May you be blessed with good news.’’
7 Noahide laws
Light The World
The Talmud, the Jewish holy teaching, says that even before the Jewish nation was founded, the Creator showed all mankind the path of good and evil. Since all humans are descendants of Noah, the seven major commandments are called “Seven Laws of Noah,” which refers to the system of good and evil common to all humankind.
Our History
Chabad House of Japan was founded by Rabbi Binyomin Edery and his wife as the first Chabad House in Japan.
When the Tsunami happened on March 11, 2011, the Japanese people were stricken with extreme fear. There was the threat of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Many people were afraid to go outside. Rabbi Edery, helped the Japanese army in the first days, find bodies among the debris and absolute destruction.
