Overview
- Roughly 6,500–7,000 Chabad shluchim from more than 100 countries have gathered in Brooklyn for the multi-day Kinus Hashluchim to exchange practical guidance and morale support.
- Organizers held meetings with senior NYPD officials this week to plan police deployments, crowd management and protective arrangements for major Kinus events in Crown Heights.
- Chabad World Association presented a video with step-by-step security measures that leaders are urged to adopt while preserving the movement’s open, welcoming approach.
- Speakers pushed for concrete follow-through, asking shluchim to strengthen personal Torah study, form regular chavrusas, and support colleagues facing threats or burnout.
- Delegates shared on-the-ground successes and challenges — from a 500-person Shabbos at UC Berkeley to securing a large facility in Hadera — underscoring how the Kinus turns strategy into local action and affects daily community life.
