Chabad in Cyberspace

As you probably know, Chabad-Lubavitch is the known leader in Jewish information and education on the web, as highlighted by an independent study conducted by JInsider which painted Chabad as the “Brand leader”.

This Chanukah, however, was another turning point in the story of Chabad-Lubavitch on the web.
