Momentum is rising in preparation for the Rebbe’s 120th birthday, which will occur on Yud-Alef Nissan this year.
In a meeting this Wednesday, Shluchim from across the State of New Jersey decided on a state-wide gift of new Mosdos to the Rebbe, with a goal of at least one Mosad to be opened by each one of the 63 Chabad Houses throughout the State, joining in a global initiative spearheaded by Vaad Or Vechom Hahiskashrus, a division of Iggud Hashluchim.
Among the initiatives announced by the meeting were new buildings, a fund to assist Shluchim in the need of mental health care, and a Simcha fund to assist salaried Shluchim in family simchas. Plans to create a central database to assist NJ mekuravim in finding shidduchim and an organization to assist children from troubled backgrounds are in the works.
A central NJ Vaad of Shluchim, led by Head Shliach Rabbi Moshe Herson, will coordinate the efforts, offering assistance and networking.
This is only one of a number of locations where Shluchim met and undertook goals of new initiatives to be launched this year, on the heels of the resolution by over 50 Head Shluchim earlier this month to establish at least 1,210 new institutions by 11 Nissan 5783. Already several hundred Mosdos have been undertaken during a meeting coordinated by the Iggud Hashluchim.
We need to send out more shiluchim.
There is a whole young generation that has what to add to shilchius but ends up going on business because there are no options.
There are many options. But the “whole young generation” only want to move to new locations, not near anyone or under anyone. Maybe understandable, maybe not. But clearly their goal isn’t to “add to Shlichus”. Waiting for the perfect offer so that they feel good that they are on Shlichus.
I know off hand tens of shluchim looking to bring down new shluchim. No one is taking them up on the offer
Problem isn’t the current shluchim. It’s the new generation and their mashpiim who forgot that Shlichus is about the kavvana and not themselves
I disagree with your premise. It’s the fact that most of these working relationships don’t pan out. Look how many employee shluchim get fired. People don’t want to move to a place, put kochos and their lives into a mosad, and then get kicked out without warning 6 months to 10+ years (!!) later.
How many ppl do I have to know FIRST HAND, who moved out “under” someone, and didnt work out, for me to have to say “I’m not going to move my wife and child somewhere knowing there’s a %40 chance of this not working….
…And how many head Shluchim do I have to call about an area saturated with jews and hear “its not the right time…”, before I say “I give up” ?
This generation of shluchim and bochurim have more hiskashrus then has ever been recorded in chabad history.
Ever since the RCA was established shluchim could not come spread yidishkeit in NJ, now they are bringing 120 shouchim, this is truly amazing.
More achdus and less nepotism will be a good incentive for more young ones
to consider shlichus.
Something all shluchim seeking younger ones to join their team should be aware of.
Hatzlocho rabo.
yes amazing
Chevra i love it keep on dancing
