Kinnus HaShluchim

[ckmk47]

Right but I feel like most of them sound very burnt out. Just a bit of energy would make it still background and yet be more pleasant to listen to. A child or children would be really nice too. But then again I'm not there so this could be less of a focal point there, than me watching it from home.

We ate supper and did some homework.  While I DDF'd.  But dinner break is just about over.  I'm gonna call back the troops.
I strongly agree that the choir is lacking zip! The choice of music and the tired looking band is no help.

He's great so far!

[Galitzyaner]

He's fine, but sounds to me more like a maggid/storyteller. Very jumpy. Great speech for a camp color war....

He is fascinating to watch, as well. L to R: 1) Describing the koichos of the children on shlichus 2) Explaining Wimbledon 3) Rolling eyes in description of what the the actress-dramatic-wife of Peter Frye did when she repeatedly told the Rabbi that, contrary to Peter's daughter's wishes, that she will not change her mind, she will cremate her Jewish husband 4) The hand-gesture with which Mrs. Telma Frye handed over the green paper that gives authority of the dead body - over to Rabbi Dubov.

Did you hear how many new countries chabad opened this year?!

tons --    Angolia, Ghana, etc... How's this for energy -- 5,500/6,000 rabbis and city-wide leaders and supporters all singing and dancing in one room together!?

When they announced the states in the USA they said 49 States which state doesn't have a Shluach?

Is there a reason for that? No Jews there?

It just baffles me how he continues to make the same mistake year after year. So entertaining watching his roll call.

[Dan]

All in all a very inspiring event and everyone should endeavor to go at least once.

But my question is why is there no kinus anash?

[yoruel]

Do the shluchim have to pay for anything besides airfare?
Who sponsors the dinner?

[Achas Veachas]

The Shluchim pay a symbolic $36 (set by the Rebbe that way).

[Dan]

Who sponsors the dinner?

I was really surprised by the lack of corporate sponsorship/advertising.  I guess that must be the way they want it.
The dinner alone and the warehouse setup is undoubtedly over $1MM.  And that's just a fraction of the whole extended weekend.
