Thousands turned out for the banquet at last year’s International Conference of Shluchim.

BROOKLYN, NY — Last minute preparations are proceeding at full pace at Lubavitch World Headquarters in New York as the clock ticks down until the annual International Conference of Shluchim. The conference, known among the Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries who attend simply as the kinus ñ an abbreviated form of its name in Hebrew ñ begins Nov. 7. For five days, almost 3,000 shluchim from all over the world will attend sessions and share strategies about how best to reach Jews in every corner of the globe.

Having the feel of a family reunion, the attendees will also catch up with friends and colleagues they haven’t seen since last year’s gathering.

Among the topics to be dealt with are how best to integrate the use of financial planning software into Chabad House office operations and innovations in programming to reach the high school-aged set.

Also on the docket are in-depth learning sessions delving into the Talmud and Chasidic texts.

New to the program is the opportunity for newer emissaries to benefit from more experienced mentors.
