Hello, my name is Yanky. I am a normal 21 year old “in the system” Lubavitcher bochur in one of the largest and most prominent Smicha in institutions Chabad has to offer. (Think out of CH, but close enough to rent a car every other week to come in for a Lechaim). I want to share something that’s been bothering me, and get some opinions too.
Before enjoying a lavish meal, the Shluchos heard from Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky who congratulated them for thier making Shlichus a possibility, and Mrs. Louise Hagar who spoke of her special connection to the Rebbetzin.

The Kinus Hashluchos Gala Banquet in the Manhattan Hilton Hotel will be broadcasted live today, Sunday beginning at 6:00 PM.
Running alongside the Kinus Hasluchos is the Kinus of the Tzeirei Hashluchos, the young Shluchos who are just as much a part of their parents Shlichus. They posed for a group picture as well.
The Shluchos took some time this afternoon to pose for their annual group photo. Full size picture in the Extended Article.
