This year’s main session on Motzai Shabbos relocated to the Palace in Boro Park, and the format was changed into a Melava Malka. The evening’s speakers followed the theme of this year’s Kinus – in the darkness, light arose.

Late Friday night at about 4:30am, a Crown Heights resident woke up feeling little thirsty. He went downstairs to get a cup of water; as he descended he thought he heard some strange noises, but he chalked it up to the old age of the house and didn’t give it too much thought.
As Shabbos ended, CrownHeights.info received the troubling news that Rabbi Nachman (ben Chaya Basya) Sudak, head Shliach to the UK, suffered a heart attack. The family is asking the public to please say Tehillim for his speedy and complete recovery.
Hatzalah, police and Shomrim responded late Friday night when calls came in that a member of the Williamsburg Chasidic Jewish community was shot.
A Jewish convert to Islam pleaded guilty to inciting violence, including a call to leave Chabad headquarters in New York “a message from Islam.”
Daylight Savings Time comes to an end tonight. At 2:00am all clocks should “fall back” to 1:00am, giving everyone a much appreciated extra hour of sleep.
One of the highs of the Kinus Hashluchim is when the Pan Kloli [general pan] is written at the Ohel. On Friday, all of the Shluchim who came into New York for the Kinus signed the Pan Kloli, requesting improvement in world economy and the strength to increase the number of Chabad houses worldwide.
A special buzz was in the air on Kingston Avenue as the Erev Shabbos hustle and bustle peaked, with people picking up last minute items and Tzeirei Hashluchim Campers dancing and singing in the streets. Our photographer went out to capture the sights.
A Shturem photographer went to the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal last night and captured the feverish preparations for the grand Kinus Hashluchim banquet that will take place there Sunday night.
For the hundreds of Children who accompany their fathers every year to the Kinus Hashluchim, a special program – modeled after summer camp – keeps them occupied, educated and entertained throughout the four days of the Kinus.
Chabadniks on the Boston Red Sox, rabbis kissing beards and paparazzi at the Ohel: welcome to the Kinus Hashluchim Twittersphere.

On Motzei Shabbos, Parshat Chayei Sarah, nearly forty teenage girls huddled together at the popular Crown Heights spot – the Besht, for an inspirational, educational and music-filled night. The event was organized by Chaya Volkov and Breindy Gottlieb, leaders of the JNights teen Program.
