✨ 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.
