Activities

  • Kinus Hatmimim Haolami is the largest annual gathering of Chabad students.
    Yartzeit of the Previous Rebbe and day the Rebbe assumed leadership of Chabad. The gathering is held in Brooklyn and is attended by thousands of students.[2] This event culminates several days of inspirational programs, including seminars, Farbrengens and visiting the Rebbe's Ohel
    . The event is addressed by leading Rabbis from Yeshivos around the world.
  • Extensive programs and accommodations for the thousands of guests who visit Brooklyn during the month of Tishrei. Besides providing flights for the guest students and overseeing their study schedule during their visit, the Vaad coordinates a full schedule of classes, lectures, seminars, panels, tours and Farbrengens.
  • Study campaigns in connection with
    Yud Aleph Nissan, the birthday of the Rebbe. These campaigns include selected teachings from the Rebbeim that are studied by students during their free time. The students take tests on the material, and are rewarded according to their results.[3]
  • Study campaigns in connection to
    Gimmel Tammuz with a similar format.[4]
  • Study campaigns in connection with Hey Teves.
  • Network for Talmidim Hashluchim, the student mentors who serve in Yeshivos worldwide. The network provides a support base and resources for the various programs they do. The Vaad coordinates an annual Yom Iyun, day of training, for these students.
