Chabad - (hā-bād) – Hebrew acronym for Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge.

Chabad of Cary, nestled into a hillside between mixed residential, greenway space, and a collector road consists of three primary volumes atop an organizing base. The primary forms, largest to smallest, contain the sanctuary, operations/support, and kosher kitchens. The base or foundation for these volumes contains the mikvah and classrooms. The Jerusalem limestone volumes frame the lobby and social heart of the building encouraging community gathering and discussion. The sanctuary accommodates religious services, holiday meals and classes while affording views to the forest canopy.
