On Thursday evening of the Kinus, Shluchos joined the annual Shluchos Farbregen hosted by the Shluchim Office for an evening of unity, inspiration and connection.

The annual Thursday night Farbrengen hosted by the Shluchim Office is a highlight for Shluchos, a night centered around them to feel treated out with special gifts and delicious food and join an uplifting and empowering Farbrengen.

The Farbrengen at Lubavitch Yeshiva covered “The Rebbe’s Presence: A Present in Our Life, Your Life and Every Life” with Mrs. Esther Sternberg and her daughters, Mrs. Rivkah Slonim (Vestal, New York), Mrs. Sara Raskin (Cote S Luc, Quebec), Mrs. Malky Dubov (Princeton, New Jersey), Mrs. Chanie Diskin (Munich, Germany) and Mrs. Rochi Edelman (Luxembourg, Luxembourg) with MC Mrs. Mushky Glitsenstein (Anchorage, Alaska).

“It was so special to be treated to a beautiful top-quality event that throughout the year, I am the one running around shopping for, preparing, setting up, and hosting,” wrote Mrs. Mussie Chein, Shlucha to Biarritz, France. “The speakers and their inspiring stories of their connections and interactions with the Rebbe, brought me, as a Shlucha who was born after Gimmel Tammuz, to understand how personal the Rebbe is to me about everything in my life in addition to my Shlichus.”

Taking place simultaneously, the Hebrew-speaking Farbrengen hosted at the Shluchim Office featured Mrs. Batsheva Deren, Shlucha to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, whose warmth and passion on Hiskashrus and Chassidus created a meaningful experience.  

Special for this year’s event, the Shluchos were gifted with a choice of their own luxury scented candle to take home from Apotheke. 

The Shluchos had a choice of entering into five raffle packages which included gift certificates to Jupe, Luum, Maya’s Place, Fame on Central, The Gallery Collection, Shop Sheek, Kirsh Jewelers, Dollys, Tie Ur Knot, By Tess Collection, Aleeza Paris, Malka Majesty, Apparalel, Sary Farkash, Posh Setting, Yom Tov Setting and Boutique25. The Shluchim Office extends appreciation to the vendors for their generosity. 

Mazel tov to the winners Mrs. Chana Tova Mandel (Fort Worth, TX), Mrs. Miriam Greenbaum (Suffield, CT), Mrs. Devorah Leah Pinson (West Bloomfield, MI), Mrs. Rivky Goldman (Waterloo, ON), and Mrs. Faige Rivka Serebryanski (New Windsor, NY).

A special thank you to the party planner, Mrs. Tzipporah Hahn. Thanks goes to Mrs. Bassie Shemtov and Frayde Trachtman who led this year’s event and all the dedicated staff and volunteers who made this year’s Farbrengen such a tremendous success including CM Antebi, Yisroel Taub and Mendel Benjaminson.
