The Shluchim in Queens came together for the first ever Kinus Hashluchim in the Borough that houses the Ohel of the Rebbe.
The Kinus was organized by the duly elected Vaad Hashluchim of Queens.
The Kinus venue was the elegant Adria Hotel and Conference Center owned by a Jewish family who were involved in the construction of the initial expansion of 770 after the Hanochas Even Hapinah by the Rebbe.
The Shluchim and Shluchos were treated to a series of Shiurim and workshops on matters pertaining to the enhancement and enlargement of their Shlichus.
This was followed by a sumptuous banquet.
The banquet was graced by the presence of the vice chairman of Merkos and the driving force behind all the Kinusim, Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, who shared warm words about the call of the hour – to bring the Geulah now.
Rabbi Shmuel Butman, together with Board members of Tzach – Lubavitch Youth Organization, participated in the Kinus as well, sharing words of inspiration and Farbrenging with the Shluchim.
The Kinus was a huge success with the Shluchim coming away with a renewed sense of purpose and energy to fulfill their Shlichus and bring the Shechinah down to earth with the Geulah Shleimah now!
There are 20 families of Shluchim serving Queens from as far East as Little Neck, West as Long Island City, South as Howard Beach, North as Whitestone, as well as numerous other communities throughout Queens.
The Shluchim serve the various demographics of Jews in Queens which include local American Jews as well as Israelis and the huge population of Bukharian Jews who have found their place within the Chabad Centers in their communities.
The Shluchim pledged to continue with events that unite the family of Shluchim especially in this year of Hakhel.
