After an amazing weekend, thousands of Young Shluchim participating in both the in-person and virtual tracks joined together for this year’s Finale event. At this beautiful program, the Young Shluchim get to celebrate their unique role together with their peers and gain Chassidishkeit and inspiration to bring back home.
The program kicked off with dancing for Rosh Chodesh Kislev and a welcome video introducing the theme “Near and Dear” which focuses on the special relationship and unbreakable bond the Rebbe has with his Shluchim.
A video of the Rebbe followed, and the recital of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s Kapital led by hosts Mottel Slonim and Yitzchok Shemtov. The Shluchim took the opportunity to unite for Tzedaka and Tehillim for Eretz Yisroel and sang a heartfelt Ani Maamin Leiuli Nishmas Rabbi Zvi Kogan H”YD.
A stunning presentation was shown highlighting the Sefer Hashluchim and its importance to the Rebbe and ended with a massive real life Sefer Hashluchim revealed on stage with this year’s Kinus group photo.
Surprise guest Shliach Rabbi Meir Geisinsky hosted a live, interactive Shlichus-themed game show before the powerful story of how Young Shliach Shimi Oirechman received a dollar from the Rebbe was shown.
The Young Shluchim were shocked when it was announced that everyone would receive a piece of material used by the Rebbe, generously gifted by Shamshi and Mindy Junik and Family.
An exciting roll call was conducted by singer Berel Faiden, as the Young Shluchim danced and waved their flags with pride as their country and state were called before raffle drawings for amazing prizes. Young Shliach Levi Rothman won the grand raffle, a full scholarship to the Tzeirei Hashluchim Winter Camp in Lake Worth, FL.
Special thank you to the Finale team, Matti Weingarten, Mendel Slonim and Mendel Zaklikovsky.
The Finale is generously dedicated by Rabbi Dovid and Gitel Fischer Leiluy Nishmas Luba Michla Bas R’ Shlomo Zarchi OB”M.
