BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — The Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim is a project of the Shluchim Office which is underwritten by Merkos Linyonai Chinuch and is a division of Kinus Hashluchim Haolami, which provides a unique opportunity for the sons of Shluchim to draw the same energy and inspiration as their parents do from each year's Kinus. A complete program that manages, in just one full weekend, to unite and inspire the Shluchim's children, the Kinus grows larger and more successful every year. For boys ages 8-12, the annual Kinus is fun, educational, and exciting, with a full schedule of well-planned activities, learning, farbrenging, trips, a visit to the Ohel and more. Throughout the weekend, the children are in a warm, chassidishe environment, supervised by a staff of dedicated madrichim. The Kinus assumes full responsibility for the children's welfare, including all meals and sleeping accommodations, allowing their parents to fully focus on the Kinus.

The Annapolis resident goes to classes and religious services offered by Chabad of Anne Arundel County, an outreach and educational center for Jews run by Rabbi Nochum Light and his wife, Hindy.
“I feel there's something communal about it,” Mr. Birman said. “It's important we have these types of opportunities to get together and do things.”
He's been attending classes at Chabad for about two years and has studied everything from portions of the Bible to Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). The atmosphere at Chabad, he said, is always friendly and open to everyone.

For the past few days, my world has been saturated with the news of President-Elect Barack Obama. Most of the statements I have heard were very negative or very positive – not much in the middle. Surprisingly, however, both extremes followed a similar theme: “It's the end of the world as we know it.”
As a Chabad Rabbi, my initial thoughts were against the President-Elect and much of his platform. Weighing his policy towards Israel, a land dear to myself and my brethren, and envisioning a world gone mad held in the palm of his hand, truly pierced me to the core.
