Meet Chabad of Belgravia

OUR STORY

In September of 2011, a group of local entrepreneurial Jews set out to create a Jewish community centre to serve the neighborhoods of Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park, and Fulham.

In just a few short years, we have grown from just a few families into a flourishing community of families and individuals from all backgrounds, that share a passion for Jewish identity, tradition, and culture.

Traditional houses of worship attract a small segment of Jews for a small fragment of time each year. Our mission is one that resides well beyond the walls of the classic synagogue. 

It is where you come to pick up Challah for Shabbat, drop off your children for Hebrew School, your teens for clubs, meet like-minded young Jewish professionals, and enjoy a Jewish film or enlightening lecture. Our centre is one that weaves together threads of our heritage, not just once a week or twice a year, but by elevating our every day with meaning and purpose.

Our Inspiration

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory (1902-1994), the seventh leader in the Chabad-Lubavitch dynasty, is considered by many to have been the most influential Jewish personality of modern times. Known for his hallmark teachings of unconditional love and acceptance for every Jew regardless of affiliation or observance, the Rebbe serves as an unwavering inspiration for all that we do.
