Today, my wife Shayna left for New York for the annual Shluchos conference, which brings together over 3000 women from across the globe. The conference, or Kinus as it is affectionately known, is five days of profound inspiration, learning and camaraderie from where the women who represent a vast array of Chabad educators, leaders, teachers, Chabad Center Directors and more, return even more enthused to serve their respective communities.
