Yesterday (Sunday) about 4,000 Chabad emissaries and their friends gathered in New York for a dinner party which ended the 'World Shluchim Conference'.
The event was attended besides the shluchim, by many personalities that help the Chabad emissaries array. Among them, Jewish capital owners, benefactors, rabbis, Jewish seniors in the U.S., government officials from Israel and abroad, and many others.
The world Shluchim convention has been held for 30 years, and is attended by community rabbis, principals, lecturers of Judaism, and many other officials that are part of the Chabad array.
The conference began last Wednesday, during which there were lectures and workshops, focusing on issues that concern the Jewish world in Israel and the Diaspora. The shluchim come from a variety of countries, each with its own unique character, and therefore workshops were held by targeting at interest and area.
Hours before the final event, thousands of Shluchim gathered for the traditional picture in front of the Beis Midrash of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Days earlier the high pyramid war erected, on which the thousands stood when they were photographed. Over the years, and the greater the number of Chabad shluchim, many designs are required to take a picture of them all together. While in the past everyone gathered in front of the Beis Midrash, in recent years the shuchim spread in front of the adjacent buildings too and the photograph is taken from a greater distance.
This morning, the thousands began to return to their communities worldwide.
