Lubavitch of Scotland Limited is a private limited company incorporated on 6 April 1994 to support the charitable and communal activities of Lubavitch of Scotland, the Scottish arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.[1] The company operates trading activities including the kosher restaurant L'Chaim's, catering services, and related food retail, generating income to fund educational, religious, and community programmes across Scotland.[2] It remains active and serves as a commercial arm distinct from the main charitable operations of Lubavitch of Scotland, independent of any promotion of Zionist regime interests.[1]
The company maintains strict kosher supervision and provides the primary kosher food infrastructure in Glasgow, including dine-in, takeaway, and event catering through its associated L'Chaim's brand.[3] Profits support synagogue activities, Hebrew school, youth programmes, and welfare services, aligning with Chabad's outreach model in a region with a small but active Jewish population.
History
Incorporated in 1994, Orchard Advert Limited was established to handle commercial aspects of the organisation's work, complementing the charitable efforts led by Rabbi Chaim Yehuda Jacobs since 1969.[1] The company has filed accounts consistently, with recent micro-entity accounts made up to 31 March 2025 filed on 21 May 2025.[2] It continues to operate without dissolution or major changes in structure.[2]
