Thousands of Jewish women leaders pose for a group photo in front of the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in the Brooklyn borough of New York, Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024.
They are among the thousands of leaders who converged from around the world to participate in the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries, an annual event aimed at strengthening global Jewish awareness and practice.
This year’s conference comes as Jews around the world prepare to mark the 30th anniversary (in July) of the passing of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, the most influential rabbi in modern history.
After the holocaust, the Rebbe spearheaded a worldwide revival of Judaism and encouraged people of all faiths to heed universal moral teachings about honoring God, respecting others and doing more good in their everyday lives. Millions are impacted worldwide by his uniquely optimistic, uplifting and empowering teachings. The annual conference, is yet another initiative lead by the Rebbe, that injects yet additional energy and creativity in the ever-increasing worldwide efforts to add light, positivity and G-dliness to the world.
“This year’s conference comes at a time when Jewish people worldwide are experiencing tremendous upheaval. The Shluchos have been on the frontlines, addressing the physical and emotional challenges of their communities nonstop,” says Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, Chairman of the International Conference of Shluchos and Vice-Chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch. “We hope the conference will serve as a source of energy to infuse them with new strength to continue their critical mission.”
