After a day of insightful workshops, the Shluchim joined together for a “General Session,” an inspiring evening at the Bedford Armory, where they got to hear personal, moving stories from their fellow Shluchim.
The theme of the evening was the year of Hakhel, and speakers stressed the goal of Hakhel which is to bring people together for the purpose of bringing them closer.
Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, Chairman of the International Kinus Hashluchim, welcomed participants of the Kinus, which is the largest Kinus Hashluchim to date.
Rabbi Moshe Gourarie, Shliach in Toms River, NJ, was the MC for the event.
Rabbi Leibel Schapiro, Menahel of Yeshiva Gedolah and Shliach in Miami Beach, spoke on video about the theme of Hakhel. Rabbi Yisroel Wilhelm from Boulder, CO, one of the founders of Project Likkutei Sichos, spoke about Project Likkutei Sichos and its great impact on bringing thousands of Jews together, uniting in learning the Rebbe’s sichos.
Shluchim were inspired to heed the Rebbe’s call about the mission and goal of the year of Hakhel.
