Why Chabad is Really a Startup

Rabbi Ruvi New, Director of Chabad of East Boca in Boca Raton, Florida, describes the Rebbe‘s vision for the Chabad movement and how the Rebbe’s proactive initiative to save world Jewry shaped the movement’s success.

In this speech to the Chabad Partners Conference in New York last month, he uses personal anecdotes to illustrate the Rebbe’s understanding that the small acts of individuals contribute do the larger picture.

He describes Chabad as the startups of world Jewry, driven by the needs of the Jewish people, as opposed to a personal agenda.
