Standing on one foot, we're a warm, loving, welcoming, inspirational, entertaining, non-judgmental, accepting, educational enrichment center for Jews of all ages, backgrounds & affiliations... Come to see what the hype is all about!
Chabad does not go by any false labels. "A Jew is a Jew is a Jew - Period." We have gotten too carried away with the adjectives - the noun is universal - Jew. We have one Torah, we are one people, we have one G-d and one land. Chabad endeavors to bring UNITY among the Jewish community through our common bond of Jewish faith and observance.
There are no prerequisites for getting involved with Chabad Lubavitch, whether you are affiliated or not, have much Jewish background or none, you are always welcome to try one or all of our programs. We are here to serve you and we will do our best to help you and your family. You do not have to be a member at Chabad, you do not even have to agree with everything Chabad says or does - you just have to be Jewish - and you automatically belong.
"Jewish. Done Joyfully!" This is our motto and we live by it... Have you ever gotten the feeling that Judaism is an old, ancient religion that is meant to be kept in history textbooks? That Judaism is old-fashioned and archaic? That the world has progressed far beyond these outdated traditions? Well, believe it or not, Judaism is meant to be alive, exciting, passionate, relevant, and FUN... At Chabad of Delaware, this dream becomes the reality!
Our community services include, but are not exclusive to:
- Jewish Learning Institute (JLI):
A highly professional and innovative education program designed to deliver top quality education for adults of all backgrounds.
- JKidz Hebrew School (JKidzHebrewSchool.org):
JKidz is the best-kept secret in town! It is a Hebrew School, which is fun... I'll say that again - IT IS A HEBREW SCHOOL, WHICH IS FUN! Our philosophy is that if I child does not want to be in Hebrew School, his/her learning will not be meaningful or productive. Therefore, we have created a system, which allows kids to be excited about Hebrew School!
- Jewish Women's Circle:
A unique series of programs open to all women of the Delaware Jewish community. The JWC brings together Jewish women of all ages and backgrounds to learn, laugh, experience and rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.
- JLI Teens (JLITeens.com): Our new and innovative teen program, JLI Teens gives high school students the tools that they need to be responsible, ethical, moral human beings and Jews in this world. It is a fantastic program, which should absolutely be taken advantage of.
- Holiday Celebrations:

- Mezuzah:
Yes, we do house calls. If your old Mezuzah needs checking or you need a new one for that addition, we are a just a phone call away. An interesting statistic: more than 90% of commercial Mezuzahs that are hanging in people's homes are NOT ACCEPTABLE. If done properly, Mezuzahs are a tremendous source of blessings in the home, so make sure that yours is done right. Please let us know if we can assist you
- Hospital Visitation:
Every week, we make special effort to visit every Jewish patient in the Wilmington and Christiana hospitals. Please let us know of any Jewish patient who we can cheer up with a friendly visit.

Add some food for thought and discussion to your Shabbat table. We do warn you that our free weekly publication is known to be habit forming and thought-provoking. It also gives any information that you will need about our upcoming programs and events. Send us an email at [email protected] if you want to be added to our email list.
