finding common ground at the Domus Galilaeae according to this article at Chisea. The article describes the Lubavitchers this way:
The Lubavitchers take their name from the Byelorussian city of Lubavitch, their place of origin. They were born in the second half of the 17th century, from a splinter of Hasidic Judaism. In terms of this vast current of religious revival, they distinguish themselves by a more marked attention to the study of the Talmudic and Cabalistic texts, both public and secret, and by their strong missionary efforts among their brothers in faith.
