Every year thousands of Chabad shluchim (emissaries) gather for a kinus (international conference) and this year was no exception.
Last week 6,500 rabbis from all over the world convened for a group photo in Brooklyn in front of Chabad headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway. After the photo they headed for a banquet in Edison, New Jersey.
The group gets bigger every year. When we reported on the gathering in 2011, 2016, and 2018, the number of attendees was around 5,000. As you can see, the photo is of men only, and the female members of the Chabad couples have their own separate conference.
In 2011 we had some fun with the photo shoot and embedded an image of the popular Waldo character to give our readers a chance to find "Where's Waldo" in the crowd.
In 2016 comedian Meir Kay joined in the photo wearing a Batman costume. The black outfit was a perfect match for the black clothed rabbis.
This year we're playing it straight and just showing the actual photo and a snippet from the hour-long effort to position all the rabbis for the photo shoot.
Enjoy!
