WHAT IS CHABAD LOFT/KAVANAH SPACE?
✨ The Chabad Loft
Chabad Loft is the dynamic Greenwich Village branch of the Chabad-Lubavutch International outreach movement. It serves as a premier hub and the for Jewish life in NYC
where community, culture, and meaning converge.
Led by Rabbi Yakov and Avital Bankhalter, it is defined by warmth, sophistication, and authenticity. Through curated gatherings, Shabbat dinners, and transformative experiences, they have cultivated a community that is both refined and deeply connected.
A place where connection is intentional, and every individual is truly valued.
🌿 The Kavanah Space
The Kavanah Space, a signature project of Chabad Loft, is a vibrant hub for Jewish life, creativity, and connection.
More than a place, it’s an experience — a dynamic shul, community center, omakase lounge, and cultural space for learning and inspiration.
From large gatherings to intimate moments, it offers an atmosphere that is both elevated and deeply personal.
🚀 Kavanah 2.0
The Next Chapter
Now, this vision is expanding.
Kavanah 2.0 is the next chapter — transforming the space into a fully activated, daily destination. A true “third space” where community isn’t occasional, but constant.
At the center is the launch of Kavanah Cafe & Art Lounge — a living room for Jewish New York.
A place where professionals, students, creatives, and seekers come to work, connect, create, and belong.
A café by day. A cultural and spiritual hub by night.
This is more than a space — it’s the future of Jewish community.
And this gala is what makes it possible.
