Women leaders from worldwide Chabad movement to gather in Brooklyn

"CROWN HEIGHTS - SOME 4,500 WOMEN WILL GATHER AT THE CHABAD-LUBAVITCH WORLD HEADQUARTERS this week for a world conference that aims to navigate several complex issues, including rising antisemitism. The International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Women Emissaries, which runs from Thursday, Feb. 5 through Monday, Feb. 9, brings together women from all 50 states and 100 countries. The gathering also includes "the iconic Class Picture," the group photo of all the conference attendees, outside Chabad-Lubavitch Headquarters."

"After Shabbat, a gala buffet in New Jersey on Sunday evening will aim to underscore the global phenomenon of the world's largest Jewish religious, education and social services organization. The delegation will also visit the resting places of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, considered the most influential rabbi in modern history, and his wife, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson. Rebbetzin Schneerson's care for and insight into the educational outreach work of the Chabad-Lubavitch women emissaries remains a poignant source of inspiration for these communal leaders,"

Some 4,500 women emissaries will convene at the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters from Feb. 5 through Feb. 9.
