This article is about the Chabad term. For the article discussing the general legal term, see Shliach.
A shaliach (Hebrew: שליח, pl. שלוחים, shlichim/shluchim, literally "emissary" or "messenger") is a member of the ChabadHasidicJewish movement who promotes the practice of Judaism and/or Hasidism to those of Jewish background in locations around the world. Usually operating in husband-and-wife pairs, shluchim operate Chabad Houses, Jewish day schools, and Jewish summer camps. As of 2021, there are over 6,500 Chabad shluchim families worldwide, operating over 3,500 institutions in over 110 countries.[1][2] Chabad runs the largest network of synagogues as of 2023.[3]

Starting in the 1950s, the Chabad-LubavitchRebbe, RabbiMenachem Mendel Schneerson, sent many thousands of shluchim all over the world, often to remote locations, to bring Jews closer to Judaism through his mitzvah campaigns, and to assist Jewish communities worldwide in their religious needs.
The first permanent Chabad House on a college campus was established at UCLA in 1969.[2]
Kinus HaShluchim
The Kinus Hashluchim (Hebrew: כנוס השלוחים, lit. Assembly of Emissaries) is the annual gathering of Chabad shluchim held in the fall of each year. The conference is typically held in New York City on the weekend prior to the Hebrew month of Kislev. Over 5,600 shluchim gather each year, making the assembly the largest rabbinical conference in the world. A similar conference is held each winter for the shluchos (wives of the rabbis), typically proximate to the yahrtzeit of RebbetzinChaya Mushka Schneerson. The 2011 Kinus Hashluchos was a four-day event including general sessions, nearly 100 workshops, an expo, and resource fair, and a banquet attended by close to 3,000 women. One of the highlights of the banquet is the roll call, which calls on shluchos from every part of the world to stand for applause.[4]
Both Kinusim are simulcast in multiple languages and have extensive tracking, including programs for lay leaders and children.[5][6]
