Editing Shlichus (section)

== Types of Shluchim ==

==== Shadar - Shlucha D'Rabanan ====
The Shadarim were sent by our Rebbeim to collect funds to strengthen the yeshiva, and simultaneously they would teach Chassidus wherever they went, thus spreading the teachings of Chassidus. In the seventh generation, several shluchim served in a similar capacity - their role was to travel between different locations to raise funds for Chabad institutions, while also taking interest in the state of Yiddishkeit in each place and carrying out various shlichus assignments as instructed by the Rebbe. Among these shluchim were Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Glick, Rabbi Binyamin Eliyahu Gorodetzky, and Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Raichik.

==== [[Merkos shlichus|Merkos Shlichus]] ====
Merkos Shlichus - Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch (known as Merkos Shlichus) - is a Chabad activity for spreading Yiddishkeit, primarily during the summer months. As part of this activity, Chabad yeshiva students, during their bein hazmanim (semester breaks), travel to remote cities and settlements - particularly those without permanent Chabad activity - to find Jews living in these places and work to strengthen Yiddishkeit.

This activity was founded by the Frierdiker Rebbe in 1943, when several bochurim were called by him and sent to specific locations. In 1948, the Frierdiker Rebbe made this shlichus available to everyone, and all yeshiva students were called to participate in the shlichus. This shlichus expanded over the years, especially under the Rebbe after accepting the nesius.

The Frierdiker Rebbe and the Rebbe spoke extensively about the merit of this activity and its great influence on the Jews they meet, even though the shluchim themselves don't always get to see this influence immediately.

==== Yeshiva Shlichus ====
Since the establishment of Tomchei Tmimim, bochurim from the central yeshiva would travel to strengthen other yeshivos. Sometimes the opening of a yeshiva was done by the shluchim, who were bochurim. In 1967, the Rebbe first sent a group of bochurim on shlichus to Australia, and over the years many groups were added to various locations worldwide, until it became standard practice. Today, talmidim shluchim go out each year, after completing their official learning cycle in Tomchei Tmimim yeshivos, to yeshivos and semicha institutes around the world.
