Despite the chilly temperatures blowing off the New York Harbor Sunday evening, the ambience at the Gala Banquet of the International Conference of Chabad Shluchim was warm and inspired. The backdrop of the podium, designed as a brightly lit living room lined with bookshelves filled with Jewish books was meant to convey the warmth of a Jewish home. The Pier’s bare structure, beautifully transformed for the event with handsome lighting, draped walls and ceilings, was the venue for the 4500 person sit-down dinner at elegantly set candle-lit tables, capping off the five-day International Conference of Chabad–Lubavitch Emissaries.

Tonight I attended the international Chabad emissary conference – the Kinus Hashluchim HaOlami – for the first time in sixteen years. When I was the Rebbe’s emissary at Oxford University I came annually. But with my split from Chabad over my inclusion of non-Jewish students at Oxford, I stopped.
Recently I had the z’chus to attend a bar mitzvah out-of-town in the U.S.A. Shluchim made it for their son. And while there I witnessed something so beautiful, and sadly, so rare. Let me tell you about it.
I’ll call the Shliach who made the bar mitzvah Shliach A and his friend, Shliach B. Shliach B came, of course, Shabbos to Shul to celebrate the bar mitzvah. The boy lained, and spoke, and then came the grand Kiddush. As a gesture of closeness with his buddy, Shliach A, Shliach B took L’Chaim a few times and got the whole crowd, most of whom were not frum, to singing and dancing.
