The Vaad of the annual Kinus HaShluchim has announced the theme for this year’s Kinus, focusing on the shliach as the vital link binding the Rebbe with Klal Yisrael.

Drawn from the Rebbe’s sicha of Simchas Torah 5746, the theme highlights the shliach’s unique role and tremendous z’chus – not only to plan and carry out activities, but to embody and transmit the Rebbe’s presence, Torah, and guidance within their communities, while at the same time binding their communities back to the Rebbe.

Following the positive feedback from last year’s timing, the Gala Banquet of this year’s Kinus HaShluchim will take place on Sunday, 25 Cheshvan (November 16), at 1:30 pm EST.

“This timing aims to enable maximum participation from shluchim worldwide, with a focus on accommodating those who wish to travel in the evening,” the Vaad HaKinus said.

Buses will depart from Crown Heights beginning at 11:30 am and will return after the conclusion of the program. The banquet – expected to draw approximately 6,000 attendees – remains the highlight of the Kinus HaShluchim, which brings together the Rebbe’s shluchim from across the globe.

The Vaad HaKinus has also released the basic schedule of this year’s packed program, including workshops, sessions, and more, beginning on Wednesday and culminating with the banquet on Sunday, enabling shluchim to prepare and plan accordingly.

Additionally, discounted flights of up to 15% have been arranged for shluchim traveling to the Kinus.
