From the Banquet to 770 – Farbrengen

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — From the pinnacle of the Kinus, the Banquet on Pier 94 in Manhattan, Shluchim made their way back to Crown Heights, to 770 where Shluchim and Bochurim gathered in the big Zal upstairs and Farbrenged well into the night.

    Evey year at the time that the Kinnus Hashluchim comes around, I get very deppressed, I live here in Crown Heights the place the Rebbe called home for over 50 years, that’s a long time. I get deppressed when I see the comraderie and achduss the Shluchim have towards one another.. like they are a close family.. I wish here in Crown Heights we we could act the same towards one another.. I wish I had chosen the path of Shlichus.. For this reason alone..

    Beryl, It’s also a shame that the people who live IN Crown Heights can’t be included to some extent with the Shluchim. I feel it really separates us from them. The same thing when it’s the shluchus convention. There ought to be at least one session the the schuna is invited. I feel very separated from them and almost like a nothing. Afterall, it is US who puts them up, isn’t it? It definitely does not promote achdus!

    To ‘left out’:

    I would suggest that to the organizer’s. They seem to be doing a wonderful job I’m sure they are looking for ways to make it better.

  • fargin them!

    "fargin" the shluchim a few days a year to farbreng and be together. They have mesiras nefesh all year round while you’re enjoying living in a chassidishe shechunah

    It is not too late. If you are really interested, you can either go on Shlichus now or you can become a very active partner toa Shliach in various ways.

  • Beryl

    To: CH balabos: I am a very active partner to shluchim when I can be.. It is not always easy because I have local commitments that come 1st.. But I deffinilty consider myself to be an active partner.. To Left out: You think that living here in teh Rebbe’s Daled Amos we need to wait for the shluchim to come and show us what’s rite? This golus is indeed very dark.

    To ‘left out’

    Rabbi Kotlarsky gave a big thank you at the banquet to the ‘shcunah’ for hosting the kinus and the shluchim.

    I don’t know about all of you but when the shluchim come in i get very happy, not depressed, because they are enjoying themselves and hat makes me happy especially since i have uncles who are shluchim! i enjoy the fact that they enjoy themselves!

  • Shluchim-s parent

    We’re only left out if we let ourselves feel that way. We COULD have the same achdus @ Tishrei with our guests, but a lot of us can’t wait for them to leave so we can get our peace & quiet back. There’s just no pleasing some folk! Meanwhile, Kol Hakovod to 4000+ Shluchim who lead by example. This seems to have been an exceptional Kinus.

    Shluchim definitely bring a special feeling to CH. I felt it strongly when I was out on Thursday. It felt like erev Shabbos, erev Geulah.

    About trying to have achdus: it’s up to us to do it. Not seeing the achdus and ahavas Yisroel you like? We can only change ourselves and try to also do our own shluchus as best as we can. The shluchim should be inspiring us not depressing us, ch"v.

    to "left out"
    what kind of sessions do you want?
    on how to fundraise?
    how do deal with a mekurevs family life?
    and by the way no body well send you out if you do go to a session

  • Hmm...

    Beryl- I’m sure that if Crown Heightsers would see each other only once a year, there would also be lots of comraderie and achdus.
