myShliach Doubles Membership at Kinus HaShluchos

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — During this year’s Kinus HaShluchos, the myShliach mentoring program’s booth was abuzz with over 1000 Shluchos collecting information about current programs and watching their children in a promotional video. Parents shared their excitement over the program’s impact in their children’s lives. Mrs. Pearl Krasiansky, Shlucha to Hawaii, says of her son, “I have never seen him so motivated! Baruch Hashem!”


300 of myShliach’s 500 members are newly registered children of Shluchos who were in attendance at this year’s Kinus. The myShliach program provides children a friend, chavrusa, and role model with whom to speak. Within the mentoring program, there is a weekly session in which the children chat, learn, and Farbreng over the phone with their “big brother” or “big sister.”

This year, myShliach shared its booth with the wildly successful “Hachayol” program, a joint venture between Tzivos Hashem and myShliach. Over 200 Shluchos registered their children to Hachayol alone. “The program has initiatives for children to do what every parent would like to their children to do,” explains Mrs. Sima Simmonds, the myShliach ECAD. By offering great prizes and promotions through points that the children earn with activities such as Tanya baal-peh and saying Tehillim, the children respond really well with this innovative method of motivation. Adds Mrs. Simmons, “myShliach is making the ever popular program, Hachayol, available to Shluchim’s children in every city of the world.”

Parents are very happy with the positive outcomes of myShliach’s partnered relationship with Tzivos Hashem. “My kids loved it!” exclaimed Rabbi Hami of Monsey, New York. “They all said Tehillim with extra Chayus this month.”

Rabbi Beryl Frankel, the director of myShliach, explains the program’s far-reaching capacity: “We are able to offer children around the world the opportunity to have a mashpia and friend, as well as the opportunity to be part of such an amazing program like ‘Hachayol’ and many other programs throughout the year – no matter where they live.”

Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, executive director of myShliach, describes the motivation behind myShliach. “We are constantly striving to provide programs and services,” he explains, “that enhance the lives of Shluchim and their children.” myShliach started as a mentoring program to serve the growing needs of Shluchim’s children who often only have their brothers and sisters as friends. During Yomim Tovim, My Shliach organizes a program to promote parent-child learning. Children have a learning-based opportunity to enter into a worldwide raffle for great prizes such as sets of Seforim, cameras and iPods.
