CHABAD RESEARCH UNIT
The Chabad Research Unit (CRU) explores communicating the essence of Judaism in a world of change.
Communication begins with oneself; then one is able to transmit knowledge and inspiration to others. The Chabad Research Unit seeks to reveal the subtleties, depths and meaning of Jewish teaching and life. As well as Friday Night, some articles and other information, this website contains scores of audio files of talks, lectures and shiurim on Jewish teaching, particularly its inner Chassidic-Kabbalistic dimension. Enjoy!
