About
The Mission of Chabad of Nebraska is to improve the world through education, action, and loving kindness; to help realize a moral, G-dly world in which honesty, integrity, a sense of meaning and purpose, respect, responsibility for one another, knowledge, security, and peace prevail.

We recognize the innate goodness in humankind and seek to inspire and empower all people to maximize their potential on life's journey - with joy, passion, and enthusiasm.

To accomplish that, we work with all denominations, cultures, and faiths and reach out to help rather than wait to be called upon.
