It was over 70 years ago, during a public gathering, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, established the Lubavitch Youth Organization. Since then it has grown from humble beginnings to become a dynamic force in Crown Heights and the eight county NYC Metro area.

Today's LYO, with over 200 shluchim couples and 140 centers, is responsible for the largest Jewish population center outside of Israel.

As we celebrate over seven decades of reaching out to the Jewish community in the NYC Metro area, we know only too well we still have much work to do in order to fulfill the Rebbe's goal of bringing about the Messianic Era, may it be quickly in our days.

Our hope is that you will use this portal site to find your local Chabad House, Chabad program, or your local Chabad Rabbi and Rebbetzin, to get in touch with the vibrant Judaism that Chabad offers you.
