Lubavitch Lay Leaders Gather in New York for Their Own Conference
NEW YORK, NY — “My rabbi is magic,” exclaimed Wirley Weiler at the lay leadership portion of the International Conference for Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries on Sunday.
The annual convention, which ran from Nov. 8 to Nov. 12, drew thousands of emissaries from across the globe to Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y. Before the event’s grand banquet, supporters of the emissaries gathered at a Manhattan hotel for a day of workshops, lectures and engaging conversations.
According to the lay leaders themselves, not only were they treated to a delicious luncheon at the Marriot Marquis, but they feasted on a buffet of inspiration.
“I know something about leadership,” stated outgoing Israeli naval commander David Ben Ba’ashat, one of the attendees, “and I would recommend [my fellow leaders in the Israeli Defense Force] to come here and see what leadership is. On behalf of [the IDF] we salute you.”
