Op-Ed: Chabad 2.0

by Shmuley Boteach

Chabad Emissaries dance at the annual Kinus Hashluchim banquet.

The annual gathering of Chabad’s global emissaries, the Kinus Hashluchim, elicits a paradox. Here is an organization that is truly international, operating even more outposts than the United States government.

It is global in scope but not in outlook.

In this 6th installment of the series, Rebbetzin Chanah describes her perilous travels to, and reunion with, her husband Reb Levik in the wretched little village he was exiled to. The joy of reunion was dampened only by the heartbreak she felt over the morbid conditions her husband was forced to endure. The total change in her husband’s dress, face and even personality ‘bore a hole’ in her heart:
