The 5779 International Kinus Hashluchim convention is set to open Wednesday night, October 31, hosting a record number of 5,200 participants – including Shluchim, senior rabbis, lay leaders and family members.
Providing the most extensive and reliable coverage of Chabad’s annual get-together will be COLlive.com, the largest and most widely read Chabad news outlet.
Under the leadership of Publisher Mica Soffer and Editor Rabbi Yehuda Ceitlin, the coverage will include 6 full-time photographers and videographers, led by Baruch Ezagui and Shimi Kutner, along with Shneur Schiff, Itzik Roytman, Naftali Morosow and Shmuel Amit, the team will capture all the exciting moments of the 4 day event, including the Kinus Yaldei Hashluchim and the gala banquet at Rockland Community College in Suffern, NY on Sunday.
Sponsors of this year’s coverage are:
Shapiro Stam Center
Shapiro Stam Center has been in business for over 30 years, servicing anash and Shluchim around the globe.
They specialize in tefillin and Mezuzos, and are known for providing personal service to all their customers. No customer is too small – each one receives personal service.
Shapiro Stam Center is known for providing the utmost in kashrus – everything is top of the line, in Kashrus and quality.
And they are affordable, offering the best prices. They offer a very reasonable price for a brand new Torah, because many Shluchim purchase used Torahs which can lead to many problems. An affordable brand new Torah will be used for many years to come.
Shluchim are invited to take advantage of their new service for Bar Mitzvah bochurim: When purchasing a pair of tefillin, the bar mitzvah boy receives a special invitation to visit their workshop and watch his own pair of tefillin being put together by their expert staff.
We offer many Shluchim specials, stop in to find out more.
