This year’s #Kinus is expected to be the largest ever, as more than 5,000 Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries—and thousands more lay leaders, family members and admirers—will join the conference, which has moved to a virtual format this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
General sessions throughout the weekend will be truly global, hosted in England, Ukraine, Israel, New York and beyond.
Throughout the pandemic, Chabad emissaries have been at the forefront of bringing Judaism to those affected, from the world’s largest Passover campaign bringing Seders-to-go to thousands of homebound individuals to High Holiday initiatives that enabled safe observance of Judaism
The Grand Event will stream live this Sunday at Chabad.org/Kinus, beginning at 1 p.m. EST, and will be live on Twitter and Facebook as well.

Of the 54 parshiot of the Five Books of Moses, only one is named after a woman. It is called “The Life of Sarah.”
It opens by informing us that Sarah has died.
Yes, this is the life of Sarah. Her true life. Because only in her passing was Sarah’s life fulfilled.
During her lifetime, she and her husband Abraham surveyed the land promised to their children.
Only once Sarah died did Abraham make his first actual purchase, publicly and with full payment. Sarah’s burial plot and its accompanying field in Hebron mark the seminal point of the Land of Israel.
An ongoing thread of all the information confirmed from Chabad of Poway.
Around 11:30 a.m., as the congregation at Chabad of Poway was beginning the Yizkor service, when Jews remember their departed loved ones, John Earnest, a 19-year-old white male from San Diego, entered Chabad and began to shoot. He is now in police custody.
For many of the rabbis here, far away from established Jewish community, this may be the only kosher catered meal they eat all year #kinus
