Editing Kinus Hashluchos (section)

== History ==
The first Worldwide Kinus Hashluchos was held in 5751 (1991), when on Sunday, 26 Shevat 5751, the Rebbe himself participated in the convention by delivering a special sicha to the shluchos. The Rebbe entered the large beis midrash at 770 at noon to deliver the sicha, after which the Rebbe distributed money for tzedakah to the shluchos.

Part of this sicha was published in the "Kovetz 22 Shevat" which was distributed by the Rebbe on 22 Shevat 5752 (1992), containing sichos and letters about the virtues of Jewish women and girls in our generation. The kuntres was distributed by the Rebbe to approximately ten thousand men, women, and children with his holy hand.

In 5753 (1993), the shluchos merited to pass before the Rebbe and also that the Rebbe came out to participate in the banquet: On 23 Shevat 5753, after Mincha prayers, the shluchos (as well as shluchim and guests) who came to the Rebbe's court for 22 Shevat passed by the Rebbe near his holy room. The "yechidus" lasted about half an hour with the Rebbe looking at all the shluchos. In the evening, the "banquet" took place with hundreds of shluchos gathering in Beis Rabbeinu SheBeBavel - Beis Moshiach. The convention was hosted by Rebbetzin Garelik from Milan. During the convention, the Rebbe came out to the balcony, and before the Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Weinberg wished the Rebbe long life and good years and that he would lead us upright to our land with the true and complete redemption, to which the shluchos answered "Amen." Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Gutnick blessed the Rebbe with the priestly blessing and concluded with the proclamation "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed," and finally the men who watched the event from the women's section sang "Yechi Adoneinu" as the Rebbe encouraged the singing with movements of his holy head.
