One of the most inspiring events in the Jewish world is the annual Chabad-Lubavitch women emissaries conference, or Kinus, where thousands of women from all over the globe gather to celebrate their shared mission of spreading Judaism and bringing light to the world. These women are not only the wives and mothers of Chabad rabbis, but also leaders in their own right, who run schools, synagogues, camps, social services, and outreach programs in their communities.
The Kinus is a testament to the power of Jewish unity and leadership. Despite the diversity of languages, cultures, and backgrounds, these women are united by their common vision and values, as taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory. They support each other, learn from each other, and inspire each other to grow and achieve more.
The Kinus is also a model of democracy in action. The women emissaries have a say in the planning and execution of the event, which is organized by a committee of their peers. They vote on the theme, the speakers, the workshops, and the entertainment. They also contribute their talents and skills to make the Kinus a success. Some of them lead sessions, some of them perform music or dance, some of them share their stories or insights, and some of them volunteer to help with logistics or hospitality.
The Kinus is not only a gathering of women, but also a gathering of ideas. The women emissaries exchange best practices, brainstorm solutions, and explore new opportunities for their work. They also learn from experts and mentors in various fields, such as education, media, psychology, business, and law. They gain knowledge and skills that help them enhance their personal and professional lives.
The Kinus is not only a conference, but also a celebration. The women emissaries rejoice in their achievements, their challenges, and their miracles. They express their gratitude to G-d, to the Rebbe, and to each other. They sing, dance, laugh, cry, and pray together. They experience the joy of being part of something bigger than themselves.
The Kinus is not only an event, but also a movement. The women emissaries return to their homes with renewed energy, enthusiasm, and confidence. They continue to transform the world with their wisdom, compassion, and joy. They are the shining stars of Chabad and the Jewish people.
