What is Chabad, really?

Recently, Tucker Carlson raised that question while making serious accusations about Chabad, the global Jewish movement known for its outreach and community work. In this episode of the Bridge Builders Forum podcast, Ryan Lambert offers a personal response based on his extensive experience as a member of a Chabad congregation.

Ryan addresses recent claims about Chabad’s role in Middle East politics, explains how Chabad actually speaks about the Messianic era and the rebuilding of the Temple, and shares what he has personally experienced inside Chabad communities around the world.

With more than 5,000 emissary families (shluchim) serving Jewish communities globally, Chabad is widely known for its commitment to Torah, hospitality, education, and acts of kindness.

Instead of speculation or conspiracy theories, this episode invites listeners to understand Chabad through lived experience—and to consider why building genuine relationships across religious communities matters.
