JLI: What Does Chabad REALLY Believe?

Do Jews believe they are superior to non-Jews? Is Chabad trying to rebuild the Third Temple? Why are Chabad centers found in nearly every corner of the world?

These questions have become the subject of intense debate, misinformation, and controversy. In this in-depth conversation, ‪@Meaningfullifecenter‬ addresses some of the most common misconceptions about Chabad, Judaism, the Jewish people, Moshiach (the Messiah), the Third Temple, conversion, the concept of the “Chosen People,” and the Jewish view of humanity.

Rabbi Jacobson explains the mission of the Jewish people, the universal dignity of every human being, the Seven Noahide Laws, and Chabad’s vision for a more moral and spiritual world.
