As Shluchim around the world prepare for their arrival in New York for the Annual Kinus Hashluchim, their sons are gearing up for a Kinus of their own.
The Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim, which takes place parallel to the adult program, is designed to inspire and entertain the young boys who live on Shlichus year-round.
The main program is for boys grades 3-8 and begins on Friday morning, 24 Cheshvan / November 2, and concludes on Sunday evening, 26 Cheshvan / November 4th. It’s 72 hours of fun, friends and inspiration.
There is an optional program on Thursday, 23 Cheshvan / November 1st for those Shluchim outside the tri-state are who arrive early, (sans sleeping accommodations).
Over the course of their Kinus, the young Shluchim will be in a warm and chassidishe environment, davening, learning and farbrenging together. They will visit the Rebbe’s Ohel, take their own group photo in front of 770, and enjoy spectacular trips all while spending invaluable time with their friends.
“It’s the highlight of the year for the Young Shluchim,” said Rabbi Berel Bendet, who directs the program. “We are putting together an incredible program that will be supervised by a staff of dedicated counselors.”
“Preparations are in full swing,” he added. “The incredible team of Kinus staff are working around the clock to make sure everything is in place for a beautiful weekend.”
Registration is filling up fast, with early enrollment ending in just 24 hours on Thursday night, 9 Cheshvan / October 18th. Parents who would like to register their sons should do so as soon as possible. All information is available at YoungShluchim.org.
The head staff for Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim 5779 are:
Division 1 (3rd Grade): Tzvi Alperowitz and Yisroel Slonim
Division 2 (4th & 5th Grade): Avremi Baron, Boruch Ceitlin, and Mendy Plotkin

Similar to their fathers, the young Kinus will conclude with a Grand Banquet in Crown Heights bringing the entire weekend to a memorable point with singing, dancing a Roll Call, and beautiful videos and presentations.
A dedicated team is working on the banquet, including Mendel Bergstein, Yankel Bergstein, Shayale Gourarie, Shmuly Gniwisch, Shmaya Hecht, Moshe Kalmenson, Mendel Lerman, and Yossi Lipsker.
A special program to prepare the Young Shluchim for going to the Ohel is being organized with the dedicated assistance of Levi Shemtov of West Bloomfield, MI.
We’re really excited about the incredible group of head staff,” added the assistant director Mendel Perlstein. “It’s amazing to see the dedication and care to ensure the program is truly special for the Young Shluchim.” Menachem Aron is assisting with many of the logistical plans as well.
Parents and young Shluchim can look forward to a very special surprise to be announced in the coming days, as well an exciting Hachana program to be released prior to their trip.
