KINUS: Editorial – In the Courtyard of the Rebbe
Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz likes to tell about the time he had seven projects on his table, and felt he needed to drop some of them. He wanted the Rebbe’s advice on how to prioritize, as he couldn’t possibly work on them all.
“In answer to my dilemma,” said Steinsaltz, his eyes crinkled with delight at this trenchant anecdote, “the Rebbe gave me yet another project.”
If the creative energy of the individual is a reflection of the Divine, it should come as no surprise that the Rebbe saw endless creative potential in the eyes of every human being.
The more they achieved, the more he expected of them. And he demanded this of his shluchim, daring them to accelerate their own personal drive to do more, reach higher, probe deeper, always appreciative of their achievements, never satisfied.
Productive disquiet of this kind is characteristic of Chabad-shluchim and is translated day after day into the wide variety of their activities within disparate and scattered communities everywhere.
Once a year, shluchim are offered a bird’s-eye view of their collective creative output. Once a year, they get to feel the reverberations of their aggregate energy, and see the dazzling mosaic they complete, unveiled for just a few moments before they move on to a new challenge.
In a few days, the 24th International Conference of Chabad Shluchim begins. The temptation to flaunt numbers is hard to resist, especially when the numbers are impressive. Close to 4,000 are expected at the Banquet Dinner of the Conference, which has moved this year yet again, to a larger-capacity venue: Pier 94 on the West Side Highway.
Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, Vice Chairman of the Chabad-Lubavitch Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch at Lubavitch Headquarters, will unwrap plans for the opening of new Chabad Houses in the ever-growing roll call, with names of faraway cities and exotic countries to be added to the map of Chabad. He will announce new educational initiatives, bolder than last years’, that will propel Chabad shluchim on another 12-month sprint to achieve greater gains, setting the bar even higher.
Shluchim will choose from a four day menu of thoughtfully planned and professionally presented sessions. They’ll participate in workshops by leading experts in the entire gamut of community building, education, spiritual and social outreach. They’ll learn new strategies and take home a wealth of new applications.

Picture problem
In the caption under the picture you write "At the lay-leadership reception of the conference, last year." however looking at it there are only black hats in the picture and the lay-leadership reception would have have few if any black hats in the audionce.
The picture is from the Rohr reception on monday in the marriot.dont become like other chabad websites that put up pictures of smashed cars in Israel and say it was an accident tha happened somewhere in the United states.
