AI Tool Turns Kinus Photo Into Personalized Video

A new creative tool allows shluchim to create a personalized video zooming from the Kinus Hashluchim group photo straight onto their own faces.

Created by Mendy Winkler, the tool has drawn a lot of attention as thousands of shluchim head back to their communities around the world after an energetic few days at the Kinus.

One of the highlights of the Kinus is, of course, the annual group photo. Thousands of shluchim gather outside 770 on Sunday morning for what is considered the largest photo of rabbis in the world.

The picture is a major event, covered by media outlets and journalists, and is seen by hundreds of thousands of people around the world as a snapshot of the growing impact of the Rebbe’s army.

In the photo itself, the shluchim appear as one massive group. But each face represents another community somewhere across the globe, with its own families and its own story.

The new tool allows shluchim to find themselves in the picture and circle their faces. Within seconds, it creates a short, approximately five-second video that begins with the full group photo and zooms in directly on them.

The video is then ready to be posted on social media or shared with their communities.

The tool also supports group videos. Shluchim from the same family or city, for example, can be marked together, and the video will zoom in on all of them at once.

As the Rebbe’s army of shluchim continues to grow each year, the annual group photo captures the ever-expanding reach of the Rebbe’s shlichus, while this new tool gives each shliach a chance to find his own place in the picture.
