Shluchos gathered at the tribute event of the International Kinus Hashluchos in New York on Sunday were given the news of the addition of more Shluchim.
20 Chabad couples are going on Shlichus, establishing new Chabad centers or working to expand existing Chabad institutions around the world.
The announcement was made by Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, Vice Chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch who added that these couples will be receiving initial funding from Chabad headquarters.
