Dear Shliach and Shlucha, Whether it’s singing aloud in shul, helping a stranger with a brocha, playing with children who have come to the Chabad House, foregoing a birthday party, or spending hours every day in the car to and from school, we know you’ll agree that your children are the unsung heroes of your shlichus. And you wish it wouldn’t be such a challenge to provide them with local Chassidishe friends and activities to enhance the chinuch you work so hard to inculcate.

We invite you to take a moment and browse this catalog. With our programs and services created with your children in mind, you are sure to find something to boost each child on his or her path of growth.

With best wishes for emesse Chassidishe nachas from your entire family, The MyShliach team

“ My oldest son is nine years old, attends a small, local Jewish day school, and has minimal interactions with other Lubavitcher children.

We saw that he really could use an “older brother" figure. MyShliach has filled that need perfectly.”

“ My children have benefited tremendously from Chayolei Tzivos Hashem. At first, only my daughter wanted to join.

However, within a week of observing her excitement, my other children wanted to join as well. They have started saying Chitas daily, being more careful in tzedakah and negel vasser, and have more chayus for farbrengens, Rebbe videos, and rallies. Chayolei Tzivos Hashem has motivated them and instilled within them a joy in fulfilling Torah and mitzvos. It is especially rewarding because they do not go to a Lubavitcher school.

Thank you so much.”

—Mrs. Dassie Pruss, Doylestown, PA

REGIONAL SHABBATONS & KINUSIM

Chayus & friendships delivered locally!

MyShliach facilitates regional shabbatons for yaldei hashluchim around the globe. Select bochurim or girls fly to various locations within the region and drive the yaldei hashluchim for numerous hours to reach a central location for an inspiring three-day program.

Shabbatons enable children to get get acquainted with one another, often for the very first time. They unite over an uplifting Shabbos of shlichus-themed encouragement and excitement. The yaldei hashluchim return home invigorated with new chayus in their shlichus.

MyShliach also provides top-of-the-line day camps for many regional kinusei hashluchim that regularly take place across the globe.

“A big thank you to everyone involved in giving our boys a Shabbos of a lifetime! This is the chayus that keeps them going on their shlichus! Yashar koach to you all! I hope we have many more. We will be happy to host the next one in Rome!”

—Mrs. Chana Hazan, Rome, Italy

You have turned Torah learning into something fun and exciting for the kids! In today’s world this is most precious. And for that—and many other reasons—you deserve a big yasher koach!”
