Crown Heights — Thousands of Jewish leaders closed out their annual Chabad-Lubavitch convention in Crown Heights Sunday with a promise to help the world better understand Judaism.
More than 2,000 religious and community members and emissaries from around the world attended a week of workshops and programs in Brooklyn. They say the goal was to arm emissaries with the tools to combat common misconceptions of their faith and its people. Ambassadors travel to countries like China, Russia and Brazil where they say they often encounter problems when trying to communicate with the cultures. They say their goal is to educate and support practicing Jews, not to convert people.
The conference also focused on dealing with terrorism.
The five day-long International Conference of Chabad Lubavitch Emissaries reaches its crescendo at a gala banquet this Sunday, November 19, 5:30 PM, at the Garden State Convention Center.

Thousands of members of Chabad Lubavitch visited the grave of Rabbi Manachem Schneerson in Queens Friday, who many of them believe is the Messiah.
They paid homage at the Old Montefiore Cemetery in Cambria Heights. About 3,000 Lubavitch representatives are in town for their annual international conference. The group usually gathers in Brooklyn, but this year there were so many representatives, they had to book the Garden State Exhibit Hall in New Jersey.
“We came to plan, to become inspired, to learn new methods, to hone our skills, and to become better rabbis, better community leaders, so that our communities that we go back to around the world will be able to benefit from our additional resources,” explained Rabbi Yosef Kantor.
