13 Shluchim Families Gather in Berlin for Kinus

13 Shluchim families serving throughout Berlin, Germany? came together for a regional Kinus Hashluchim at the Amano Hotel. They were joined by a London Shliach and a coach.

In a display of unity, dedication, and renewed Shlichus, thirteen Shluchim families serving throughout Berlin came together for a special Kinus Hashluchim, a day of learning, reflection, strengthening, and deepening the sense of mission. The Kinus took place at the Amano Hotel in Berlin, in a warm, uplifting, and inspiring atmosphere.

The Kinus opened with heartfelt words from Rabbi Yehuda Teichtel, Chief Rabbi of Berlin and Head Shliach, who expressed deep gratitude to Hashem and to the Rebbe for the blessings and success that continue to accompany the growth of Berlin’s Jewish community.

In his remarks, he reflected on the significance of this special period, as the community prepares to mark thirty years since the establishment of Chabad in Berlin, three decades of growth, vibrant Jewish activity, outreach, and far-reaching impact.

The gathering carried a deep and emotional tone following the recent passing of one of Berlin’s devoted Shluchim, Rabbi Avraham Golovacheov, of blessed memory, who passed away during Pesach. His absence was deeply felt by the participants, and his life and work served as a source of strength and inspiration to continue the mission with even greater dedication and resolve.

During the Kinus, renowned coach Dr. Oded Karavchik, CEO of the “Insights for Success” group and one of Israel’s leading personal and business coaches, joined the gathering. For over a decade, Dr. Karavchik has led meaningful courses and trained a new generation of coaches across Israel. In Berlin, he delivered two powerful sessions based on the teachings of Tanya, focusing on personal empowerment, clarity in Shlichus, a sense of purpose, and the inner strength required for a life of Shlichus. His sessions were practical and deeply inspiring, providing participants with renewed clarity and tools for their ongoing work.

The sessions included open discussion, sharing of experiences, mutual consultation, and encouragement in a warm, familial, and supportive atmosphere.

In the evening, the Kinus expanded into a moving family gathering, as the Shluchim families, their children, and the Talmidim Hashluchim of Berlin joined together for a festive and uplifting dinner.

At the same time, a special program for the Shluchim’s children took place, including trips and engaging activities organized by the Talmidim Hashluchim of Berlin under the direction of Tzvi Shusterman, ensuring that even the youngest participants experienced the spirit and energy of the day.

A particularly meaningful and inspiring moment was the Farbrengen led by Rabbi Menachem Junik, Shliach in London, who shared memories, insights, and personal stories from his holy service in the Rebbe’s home and his recollections of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, of blessed memory. The uplifting Farbrengen continued late into the night.

During the evening, a special video presentation was also shown, highlighting thirty years of activity and growth of the Jewish community of Chabad Berlin.

A special thank you to Rabbi Mendel Brandwine and Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel for their dedicated assistance and tireless efforts in organising the Kinus and ensuring its success.

More than just a gathering, this Kinus was a day of renewed Shlichus, strengthened unity, and clarity of purpose. As Chabad Berlin prepares to mark thirty years of activity, the inspiration and strength drawn from this special day will continue to accompany the Shluchim in their sacred work.

With renewed energy and strengthened resolve, the Shluchim returned to their communities, ready to continue illuminating Jewish life throughout Berlin with even greater light, warmth, and dedication.
