Live Now! Watch The First Ever Exclusively Virtual Chabad Kinus Hashluchim Grand Event
The resilience of Jewish life amid the devastation wrought by the global coronavirus pandemic will be the major theme of this year’s Grand Event, which is the virtual stand-in for the Gala Banquet that annually caps the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries.
The event, which will stream live at Chabad.org/Kinus at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15, will highlight the work done by Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to meet the novel challenges brought about by the global emergency and to continue their mission to serve every Jew, a mission charged to them by the Rebbe—Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory—whose vision and leadership continues to guide the emissaries, or shluchim, 26 years after the Rebbe’s passing.
Highlights of the event will include an address by attorney Nathan Lewin, whose decades-long effort to defend the right to place the menorah in the public sphere is perhaps more relevant now than ever amid rising anti-Semitism and the reality that for many, this Chanukah, the only way to safely celebrate in the company of others will be outdoors. Amid the darkness and depression brought on by a winter in a year defined by the coronavirus, the more than 15,000 public menorahs Chabad will place around the world—as part of the Chanukah campaign launched by the Rebbe in 1973—will bring a glimmer of light into a dark time, realizing the Talmudic charge of publicizing the miracle of Chanukah far and wide.
Remembering Coronavirus Victims:
A poignant and painful note will be struck during the event as well. Annually, time is taken during the convention’s banquet to remember those emissaries who have passed on during the previous year. The victims of the coronavirus will be remembered as well. They are memorialized in Chabad.org’s project titled Each Person, A World, which makes up the most comprehensive memorial to Jewish victims of the coronavirus. Also during the Grand Event, the more than 1,200 Jewish victims of the pandemic will be remembered with prayerful wishes that the world should know no more pain.
The Roll Call:
A highlight of the Banquet is the Roll Call, led by Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, director of the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries and vice chairman of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Annually, the Roll Call depicts the expansion of the network of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries around the world and celebrates the opening of centers in new countries and territories. It will be especially poignant this year with the addition of more than 100 new rabbinic couples in scores of new Chabad centers around the world.
While it will take place virtually this year, the Roll Call is certain to bring the electricity of the celebration of Jewish life into living rooms around the world and into the hearts and minds of thousands of viewers.
