Some 2,000 women emissaries of the Lubavitch movement are gathering in Brooklyn for a weekend conference. For these women, married to Chabad rabbis posted to outreach centers in more than 70 countries, the yearly get-together is a chance to touch base with peers, share information and best practices and see family members scattered across the globe.
“The main reason we’re here is to get reinvigorated,” said Baila Gainsburg, an emissary in Coconut Creek, Fla. “We learn from each other and go back with the feeling that we can do anything, that we’re not doing this alone — we have a huge family, our brothers and sisters all over the world.”
Topics include the revival of world Jewry, combating terrorism, using technology in spiritual outreach and breaking the ice in new communities.
