Expand 770 is a Chabad-affiliated organization and campaign advocating for the expansion of 770 Eastern Parkway, Chabad world headquarters.[1][2] The organization was founded in 2022 by Rabbi Levi Jacobson.[3][4] The organization is registered as a non-profit in Brooklyn, New York, and its tax ID is 92-1139270.[5][6][7]
Thousands of Chabad followers and other Jewish people visit 770 for the Jewish holidays; according to the organization, 770 has only 518 available seats.[8]
Writing for Anash.org, Jacobson said: "We were given marching orders by our Moshe, our Rebbe. He told us that 770 is Beis Rabeinu SheBibovel, and we have the obligation of expanding the shul as much as is needed in order to accommodate all those who want to come to Beis Rabeinu, an obligation similar to building the Beis HaMikdosh"[1]
