To accommodate the many Yaldei Shluchim that were in Crown Heights for Gimmel Tammuz, The Shluchim Office was opened for them to come participate in the rally – LIVE! Over 100 Yaldei Hashuchim gathered together and watched the rally on a big projector screen. A big thank you to the Bais Rivka High School volunteers for all their help.

On the web rally program, the children said L’chaim, gave Tzedokah, and were treated to an inspiring video presentation titled “From the Heart of a Young Shliach” – a pan of a Young Shliach. Additionally, an interactive game of “Are you a 10 Mivtzoyim Maven?” challenged the children to numerous questions regarding the ten mivtzoyim.

The twelve pesukim were recited by children spanning the globe, with the participation of over 400 families and approximately 2500 children ranging from Zurich, Switzerland to Hong Kong, the rallies were met with an overwhelming response and great excitement, giving the Yaldei Hashluchim the feeling that although their locations span the four corners of the globe they are still united by a common thread, inspiring them to continue in their great work as the future generation of lamplighters to inspire others to follow in the way of Chassidus.

Yaldei Hashluchim were able to virtually meet their friends and family from around the world! The web rally proved to be a great way to impart the importance of the day to the children, by making the web rally a hi-tech global Farbrengen. “This is a great example of utilizing modern technology for ruchnius,” said the master of ceremonies of the web rallies, Rabbi Yaakov Tzvi Kantor.

The web rally was scheduled for four separate times to accommodate different time zones and languages, and families were vying for the honor of reciting a passuk and having their family’s photo on display, for all to hear and see!

The response has been overwhelming. As one Shliach put it, “Thank you so much for the rally. It was fantastic! We enjoyed participating and seeing all of the kids from all over the world!”
