The Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim is proud to announce the Yom Iyun and Kinus for Talmidim Hashluchim of year 5772. The Kinus, scheduled to take place in Brooklyn on Monday, 26 Tishrei – October 24th, includes a full schedule of workshops and speakers to inspire & provide practical advice for the Shluchim.
Shluchim from Latin and Central America, as well as the Caribbean Islands gathered last week in Guatemala for a regional Kinus, the first such event in the region. The get-together was made possible thanks to the increase of Shluchim to the area, and is a testament to the strengthening of the blossoming communities made possible by Chabad.

(I’ve learned not to bring that up, no need to start a fight.)
The new Chabad facility, at the foot of the Los Liones National Park and a short walk to the Pacific Ocean, has undergone a transformational face-lift to inaugurate the building in time for the Jewish New Year.
