First time that the Roll-Call wasn't a one man show ("since I'm getting old" )There were a lot more but shorter speeches, lot more was on video, people spoke from different places in the hall, also the order of the program was different.
In what way?
it's good to be a Lubavitcher
And (I didn't watch, but was told) that for the first time (at least in a very long time) the spontaneous dancing was actually spontaneous, rather than the usual call for spontaneous dancing.
At the beginning, yes. The only way to stop Shluchim dancing is to just play a video of the Rebbe!But this tidbit sums it up - it was real.
It was more powerful, personal, and emotional than any I've experienced previously. Switching from grandiose keynotes to raw stories made it so.
there are also 40+ more countries and states to list and read since he first started.... " also the order of the program was different." the order was also different than the posted schedule. (i.e. Thailand speaker came after Temecula, etc...) Overall, quite smooth and inspiring.
What a speech!http://chabad.info/video/beis-medrash-video/%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%9D/__trashed-17/
filmed elsewhere. 40 minutes long. Not at the international Kinus in NJ.
What a speach!http://chabad.info/video/beis-medrash-video/%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%9D/__trashed-17/
Heh, well that's a speech you won't hear at the official kinus.
Where can I watch a replay of the official kinus?
