N'shei Chabad

N'shei Chabad, also known as the Lubavitch Women's Organization, is the official women's organization of the Chabad community. The organization was initially titled Agudas N'shei U'bnos Chabad (Council of the Women and Daughters of Chabad). It was founded at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, New York City in 1955 by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994), the 7th Rebbe of Chabad. The organization offers Chabad women the opportunity to take an active role in community life. The group publishes a N'shei Chabad Newsletter, and organizes conventions to promote Hasidic outreach work.
