Over 100 UK Shluchim came together for a two-day Kinus filled with workshops, farbrengens, and a keynote by Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, all under the theme “Stronger Together,” as they marked the growth of Chabad in the UK with 18 new Shluchim and 12 new Chabad Houses in just four years.

The 2025 UK Kinus Hashluchim brought together over 100 Shluchim from across the country for two days filled with inspiration, growth, and renewed purpose. Under the powerful theme of “Do All You Can to Fulfill Your Mission – Stronger Together,” the Kinus emphasised both the personal responsibility of each shliach and the incredible strength that comes from being part of a united global movement.

Chabad’s presence in the UK continues to grow at an impressive pace, with 12 new Chabad Houses and 18 new shluchim added in the past four years, bringing the total to 74 centres nationwide. This growth was not just celebrated but deeply felt throughout the Kinus, as newer shluchim connected with seasoned leaders in an atmosphere of mutual support and shared vision.

Workshops and sessions focused on the practical and emotional realities of shlichus — from safeguarding and fundraising to navigating burnout and balancing work and family. The conversations were candid and empowering, designed to give every participant the tools to push forward in their mission.

The Banquet was filled with energy, a highlight was the keynote talk by Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, Executive Director of Merkos 302, whose words brought both inspiration and a sense of global connection to the Rebbe’s vision. His participation greatly enhanced the Kinus, reminding everyone that they are part of something far larger than their individual posts.

The Kinus was organized with exceptional care and professionalism by Rabbi Yehuda and Dinie Pink, Shluchim to Solihull whose leadership ensured that every moment of the program reflected the central message: we are stronger together, and each shliach matters deeply to the mission.

As the Kinus concluded, the atmosphere was charged with a sense of achdus and renewed dedication. Each shliach left with a clearer vision of their role and the knowledge that they are part of a vast, vibrant, and growing network — each doing all they can to fulfil their mission.
