The view from NY

Here are a few shots from the Grand Banquet of the Shluchim convention. There were 4000 delegates present!

We had a ball!

With some guys from Dallas, Texas. (We "farbrenged" with them 'till 3:00 am on Friday night).

With the legendary Shliach, Rabbi Shmuel Lew of London.

What a powerful weekend!

It's near impossible to describe the amazing energy that we experienced over the last few daysl, here in Crown Heights.

Between a powerful Shabbos, enlightening conference and outstanding gala dinner, we're flying. Chabad of Strathavon was well represented, with a great show of enthusiasm and energy at both the Friday night farbrengen and gala banquet. We're on the map now!

More on this story on Shabbos at shul!

Shul delegation hits NY (it will never be the same)

They told us it would be winter, but with average temperatures of 17 degrees, we're not complaining.

As of today, we have the full compliment of our shul contingent. First stop will be the Ohel where we will PG represent and daven for the whole community. Everyone's looking forward to what promises to be a spiritually uplifting experience.

Then, on to "tour" the Crown Heights neighbourhood and the famous Jewish Children's museum. Tonight we're having a South African farbrengen. Lots to look forward to!
