The annual “class picture” of Chabad Shluchim took place Sunday morning at the 41st annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries (Kinus Hashluchim).

The photo, taken under the iconic gables of 770 Eastern Parkway, Chabad headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y., features thousands of black-hatted rabbis and represents not just an annual conference tradition – it has been captured since 1984 – but also the many faces of Chabad rabbis who bring Yiddishkeit to the world.

Rabbis from war-torn Ukraine to ones stationed in the towns along Israel’s hostile borders; rabbis serving college campuses across the United States to those bringing Judaism to communities that have sprung up in the Southwest. All posed in a portrait of Jewish pride and unity.

The Kinus is the largest rabbinic gathering in the world, and runs from Nov. 27 through Dec. 2. It features four days of workshops, a spiritually uplifting Shabbat and a visit to the Ohel. The conference concludes with the gala banquet on Sunday night, which brings all of the Chabad rabbis and their guests together in a giant conference center in New Jersey.

THE KINNUS WILL BE STREAMED LIVE ON YWN STARTING AT 12:30
