Sights and Glimpses From the Worldwide Kinus Hashluchim of Chabad

For most of the year, these heroic men live far away from established Jewish communities—choosing to answer the call of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, zy”a, to bring Yiddishkeit to far-flung places around the globe. But once a year, the Shluchim of the Lubavitcher Rebbe—who today number more than 5,000—gather in New York for the annual “Kinus Hashluchim.” 

Thus, thousands of shluchim converged on Crown Heights this past weekend for a few days of inspiration, rejuvenation, togetherness, shared purpose, and meeting up with old friends (and supporters) who all wish for the success of their mission. 

The Kinus schedule included dozens of workshops on everything shlichus-related, a group visit to the Ohel, an uplifting Shabbos spent with chaverim and fellow shluchim, the iconic “group portrait” taken in front of 770 Eastern Parkway, and the gala banquet concluding the Kinus which took place Sunday night in Edison, New Jersey. 

As the shluchim and their supporters departed the Kinus of 5787, it was with renewed vigor and energy and sense of purpose to bring pleasure to their Rebbe and to the Ribbono shel Olam, and to usher in the coming of Moshiach.
