Editing Menachem Mendel Schneerson (section)

===Impact===
Schneerson initiated [[Jewish outreach]] in the post-[[Holocaust]] era. He believed that world Jewry was seeking to learn more about its heritage, and sought to bring Judaism to Jews wherever they were.<ref name="jewishfederations.org"/> British Chief Rabbi [[Jonathan Sacks]] said of Schneerson "that if the Nazis searched out every Jew in hate, the Rebbe wished to search out every Jew in love".<ref>

Today there are ''shluchim'' in all of the 50 US states, in over 100 countries and 1,000 cities around the world, totaling more than 3,600 institutions including some 300 in Israel.<ref>"Jewish Literacy", Telushkin, William Morrow 2001, p.470</ref><ref>[http://www.chabad.org/centers/default_cdo/country/Israel/jewish/Chabad-Lubavitch.htm List of Chabad Centers in Israel] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140811135709/http://www.chabad.org/centers/default_cdo/country/Israel/jewish/Chabad-Lubavitch.htm |date=August 11, 2014 }}, chabad.org</ref> Chabad is very often the only Jewish presence in a given town or city and it has become the face of Jewish Orthodoxy for the Jewish and general world.<ref>Fishkoff, Sue.

Schneerson's model of Jewish outreach has been imitated by all Jewish movements including the [[Reform Judaism|Reform]], [[Conservative Judaism|Conservative]], [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] and Haredi.<ref name="jns.org"/><ref>
