International Conference of Shluchim כ״ב - כ״ז חשון, ה״תשע״ג November 7 - 12, 2012 Lubavitch World Headquaters 770 Eastern Parkway Crown Heights, NY toWelcome the International Conference of Shluchim 5773/2012 The presence of thousands of shluchim from around the world has become an annual testament to the scope of the Rebbe’s enduring vision. The sheer greatness and power of this event is unmistakable but this is only because of your participation. As the Rebbe often stressed, every single Shliach’s involvement and contribution to the kinus is essential to its function as a whole. Just as every limb is integral to the health of the human body, every shliach is vital to the success of our mission: .להכין עצמו והעולם כולו לקבלת פני משיח צדקנו and לתקן עולם במלכות ש-ד-י During our brief time together, the Kinus serves as a spiritual oasis. Here we can benefit from the wealth of resources presented and the supercharged atmosphere of so many talented individuals gathered in one place. It is our hope that the experience will open new vistas into the Rebbe’s vision and .עבודת הקודש recharge us for our This year marks the anniversaries of two important dates in Chabad history: and the 70th anniversary of Hayom Yom’s שנת המאתיים להסתלקות כ״ק אדמו״ר הזקן first printing. In accordance with the message of those two auspicious events, the theme of this year’s Kinus highlights the need to use every moment to its every day brings – יום ליום יביע אומר - fullest. Dovid Hamelech writes in Tehilim its own unique message and mission. The need to maximize every day of our shlichus is integral to both: The Alter Rebbe writes in Igeres HaKodesh that on each Rosh Hashana a new hamshacha ruchnius is brought into the world. With this new revelation comes new responsibility - and what was accomplished last year is no longer adequate this year. The Rebbe applied this message not only to the yearly cycle, but also to every moment of our daily lives. Hayom Yom’s very title demands that every day be used to its fullest. The workshops, discussions, farbrengens and main sessions of the Kinus will focus on this message. The Rebbe embodied the demand for continuous creativity, growth and innovation - and expected the same from his shluchim. .בגשמיות וברוחניות גם יחד We truly hope that you will thoroughly enjoy the Kinus With trust and prayer that the achdus engendered by the Kinus will bring גאולה with the ultimate brocha of ברכנו אבינו כולנו כאחד upon us the brochos of .האמיתית והשלימה ומלכנו בראשנו The Board of Directors of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, Chairman Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, Vice Chairman Rabbi Yisroel Deren Rabbi Daniel Moscowitz Rabbi Moshe Feller Rabbi Avrohom Shemtov Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum Rabbi Nachman Sudak Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan Rabbi Nechemia Vogel Rabbi Zev Katz Rabb Yisroel Spalter Rabbi Sholom B.
