Rabbis from around the world gathered in New York for an annual convention. Don’t let their shtetle-look fool you, some of these Rabbis can tweet! Here are some of our favorites from the convention.
Note: To understand some of these tweets, you must know three worlds: Kinus (convention); Chabad (the hasidic sect that these Rabbis belong to); Shluchim (another name to refer to the group of Rabbis who are ‘messengers’ for Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson OBM)
Shluchim are encouraged not to change their clocks in order to start the #kinus on time. #ChabadTime

The main reason 4000 Chabad Shluchim fly to New York for the #kinus is to have one Friday a year when they dont need to prepare a sermon.

@AggieRabbi I’m lost… My phone died at the #kinus start… Just charging it now… Although my soul is recharged at 100%
