European Kinus Getting Underway in Moscow

Hundreds of Shluchim have begun arriving in Moscow for a historical European Kinus Hashluchim. The Kinus will begin with a trip to Lubavitch, Liadi and Liozna.

In a few hours it will begin. In Moscow, the capital city of Russia. Under the title of “European Kinnus HaShluchim”. Twenty five years after the previous such kinuus.

Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, along with a dedicated team from the central office in New York, arrived on Friday. Along with the production team, as well as a group of local Moscow Shluchim, they have been tirelessly working together for the past few months to make this kinus a success.

The Moscow community experienced an unforgettable Shabbos with Rabbi Kotlarsky and other Shluchim who have already arrived, all learning and davening together, as well as a big chassidishe farbrengen with Rabbi Berel Lazar.

And now the have begun arriving. Hundreds of Shluchim from all over Europe. They are landing in three different airports in Moscow and are greeted by the Kinus representatives and shuttle buses that are whisking them off to the Marina Roscha Jewish Community Center.

In Marina Roscha a warm Mikva, light refreshments, Minyanim, Chassidus classes, and delicious meals awaiting them. All after they receive a warm welcome at registration.

At 8:00pm Sunday, the kinus will officially open at dinner in the main shul. At 10:00pm dozens of comfortable buses will take all of the Shluchim on the first leg of their journey to Lubavitch, Liadi and Loizna.
