Kinnus HaShluchim

[Work-for-ur-muny]

Is chabad makpid to not make weddings at the end of the lunar month? If so then that may be a reason why they always make it around shabbos mevorchim, which is at the end of the month when attendees will likely not have (or have less) weddings.

Never heard of that.

IINM it is accepted that at our generation all (or at least most) limitations are off. I remember a time when it was virtually unheard of in Lubavitch to have a wedding in Cheshvan, and while I believe it is still not a first choice, it is not totally uncommon.

What's the reason about cheshvon? Anything to do with the mabbul?

P.S. I was referring to the end of any month (with exclusion of adar and elul iinm)

Definitely there is such a concept not to do the chasuna when the moon is waning. I remember a time when people were still pretty makpid on that. But when all the halls started to be booked every night in Crown Heights b"H, people started making weddings all months long.

I have no idea what it is about Cheshvon, IINM Teves was also not a very popular month.

But as I said, and concurred by @Freddie, in this generation almost all restrictions are off.

As for the Kinnus being timed around Shabbos Mevorchim Kislev, while someone might ask the organizers how it got started, my guess is that it was simply because it was close to Rosh Chodesh Kislev - a major Yom Tov for דור השביעי and also close to פרשת חיי שרה which describes the first שליחות, even though it has been brought upthread that it's about Shabbos Mevorchim Kislev and not about פרשת חיי שרה.

Maybe around פרשת חיי שרה cuz of the haftorah (the last passuk)...  (I know, I know I'm opening a can of worms...)

Well there are two versions of the last posuk (or according to some opinions כתיב ולא קרי).

That being said, might be appropriate to post a video clip someone shared with me this morning.

do you have a date, month, and year for that clip?

[whYME]

do you have a date, month, and year for that clip?

Sunday after Shabbos mevorchim Kislev (sorry, too lazy to look up the date) 5754 IIRC (possibly 5753, but I think 5754)

Sound about right. That was the height of the hysteria.

Unfortunately, whoever is doing the video production/mixing is not doing a great job. Switching cameras at dizzying speed with no rhyme or reason.
