This event comes soon after the tragic loss of the Holtzberg family HY”D who were out on shlichus to Mumbai India who were murdered in a terrorist attack. The event was dedicated in their memory.
Mrs. Rivka Kaplan from Tzfas chaired the evening: after opening remarks she proceeded to invite Mrs. Esther Malka Groner to say a Kapitel Thillim for the success of Shlichus and for the Shluchim families for all their needs in Gashmiyus and Ruchnius, and Mrs. Yehudis Lieberman from Ashkelon added a Kapitel for the safety and wellbeing of Jews in Eretz HaKodesh.
A popular and emotional part of the Kinus is the short but adorable performance by the Bnos haShluchos, who were next on the program. Coming next was Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, the driving force behind the Kinus and Vice Chairman of the Merkos, who greeted the women.
Chani Lifshitz from Katmandu, Nepal, dedicated her speech to her best friend Rivky Holtzberg HY”D. The audience was moved to tears as she shared inspiring memories of Rivky with them.
The keynote speaker was Mrs. Devorah Telushkin, followed by a message from Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky and Mrs. Frumie Posner, who spoke about the Hakhel Year. The Roll Call, always the highlight of the Kinus, was led by Mrs. Chyena Lazaroff, after which the Shluchos and the entire audience broke into a Chassidshe dance, expressing their joy having the merit to carry out the Rebbe’s Shlichus.
