As thousands of guests, dignitaries and elected officials converge on Chicago, Illinois for the Democratic National Convention, Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois is prepared to welcome Jewish visitors to the city.
Chabad Jewish Center of South Loop, led by Rabbi Mordechai and Mushky Gershon, has created a “Chabad Hub” near the McCormick Place Convention Center, where the DNC will take place. Chabad will offer daily minyanim for prayers, a kosher buffet breakfast, and kosher meal options throughout the day.
Chabad can also be found at the Convention itself—at Booth #213—with a variety of materials and mitzvah opportunities on hand for everyone who comes by.
Rabbi Avraham Kagan is the director of Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois’ office of Government Affairs. Chabad, he says, will be on site doing its thing: providing Jewish resources and raising awareness of the universal moral principles codified in the Seven Noahide Laws. They will also offer customized ARK charity boxes to share the importance of acts of kindness, as taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
“The ARK encourages daily acts of giving, turning each of us into giving people and changing the world,” said Rabbi Meir Moscowitz, Regional Director of Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois, which partnered in sponsoring the initiative. “As elected officials and guests from around the world gather in Chicago, we look forward to inspiring a heightened sense of moral and purposeful living.”

Love to see frum jews at the DNC, go harris!!!!
Almost like running a Chabad in Iran today.
All the power for making such things available in such a difficult audience. It may open some minds to the goodness that is inherent in our vision.
Jews for Harris!! Democrats are the party of decency and kindness
“Kindness” of kelipah. “Decency” towards those whose ruling passion is death to others, whether the innocent unborn or the innocent Jews.
Thank you for making us laugh. You’re hilarious!!!
All the downvotes you get make me even more excited to vote for her!
Doesn’t matter if the Democratic party nowadays became more left wing and anti-Semitic – there are still Jews there at the convention and they have to put on Teffilin and eat Kosher. Lubavitch loves every Jew.
Chabad is there becuase Jews are there. Plain and simple. If jews are on the moon then Chabad will be on the moon. There happens to be Jews at the DNC so Chabad is there to cater to their needs and make them feel comfortable. Chabad never endorses any political candidate or party. Chabad endorses Judaism.
I am frum and helping Harris, the Dems are the party of the chesed and the downtrodden and the Republicans only care for the rich, remember asylum seekers are like the stranger mentioned in the Torah who need help.
A rising tide lifts ALL ships. The Common sense fiscal and monetary policies that were implemented by the President whose life was miraculously saved approx 40 days ago, raised more Americans of ALL denominations from poverty than any other president in my lifetime.
Let’s put aside our collective ego and start voting with SEICHEL and not with our b’heimishe middos.
May God bless us all!
Their “chesed” is that of kelipah. The “downtrodden” aren’t helped by the Democrats; in fact their situation continues to get worse, whether because of inflation, rampant crime, substandard schools, and so forth. Meanwhile, Republicans put their charity where it actually does good. As for “asylum seekers,” are you completely unaware of how many are criminals and murderers? Where’s the “chesed” to their victims?
Nice to see other frum jews on the side of humanity, keep it up!
Wish their weren’t so many Yidden there, but amazing to see Chabad braving the protests and doing mivtzoim.
Jews standing for democracy and spreading kedusha!
