KINUS: New Speakers this Year at Convention

BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — Every year during the Kinus Hashluchim, there is a plethora of workshops offered to shluchim giving them an opportunity to further develop their skills in an array of areas pertaining to shlichus.

This year, Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky and the Vaad Hakinus announced a packed schedule of seminars and workshops conducted by experts covering all areas relevant to shlichus. Some of the instructors this year including Rabbi Mendel Duchman on fundraising, Rabbi Laibe Morcowitz on Chinuch, etc.

One of the most exciting presenters this year will be Mr. Jeff Ansell from Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Ansell, who will lecture about public speaking, is a highly respected world-class trainer in public speaking. Jeff has counseled White House spokespeople and has shared the podium with former U.S. Presidents. He teaches annually at the Harvard Business School and is an Associate of the MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program.

Although many of these workshops and seminars will be conducted simultaneously, the schedule was designed to help shluchim participate in all the sessions that are relevant to their work. The schedule has a number of “track” running throughout the kinus. Each track is specifically designed for another type of shlichus ( i.e. education, administration, shul rabbi, etc.)
