Over 2,000 Young Shluchos joining both the in person and virtual track of the Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchos of the Shluchim Office joined together for their Grand finale event, celebrating three amazing days of Chassidishkiet, fun and connection.

This finale event was the much anticipated culmination of an unbelievable Kinus experience and a one last opportunity for the campers, counselors and staff in both tracks to come together. For these Young Shluchos, the energy and Chayus they feel is what carries them through the year in their Makom Hashlichus.

“My daughter Mushka joined the Kinus this year for the first time.  Every single photo that I’m seeing she is beaming beyond,” wrote Mrs. Esther Golda Katz, Shlucha to Buffalo Grove, Illinois. “She’s made new friends. And her smile is something special. Thank you!”

The program was MC’d by Shternie Levin and began with a presentation of a Young Shlucha seeing all parts of her Shlichus and recognizing how lucky she is, kicking off the theme of Ashreinu with a beautiful video of the Rebbe.

After reciting the Rebbe’s and Rebbetzin’s Kapital, the girls were treated to a special performance by guest singer Chanie Cohen. The girls had a blast singing along to their favorite Kinus hits and Niggunim all together. 

The theme video introduced 3 Young Shluchos who through Kinus adventures meet Shliach Rabbi Yisroel Deren who speaks to them about the Rebbe’s love and care for every single one of the Young Shluchim and Shluchos.

Moments of Kol Shel Bracha and special moments on the Rebbe with children lit up the screen, followed by a special announcement that every single Young Shlucha would be going back to their Makom Hashlichus with their own Kos Shel Bracha!

After reciting the Pessukim, a video of Mussia Lazaroff was shown as she spoke about the message of adding light and bringing Moshiach and then she came on stage to say Ad Mosai with the entire crowd. 

For the first time ever, Kinus hosted a live segment where the Young Shluchos were being asked rapid fire questions and answering them live in the crowd, creating an interactive and fun-filled experience.  

To end off the night, an exciting roll call was done by Musya Gerlitzky with all the Young Shluchos dancing together.  

Special thanks to the Finale Team Schejna Wilhelm, Leeba Hecht and Chana Butman and to the head staff of the Kinus who worked tirelessly to coordinate every aspect of the program.
