More than 5,600 rabbis and guests from 100 countries gathered for the gala dinner highlighting the 35th International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries. The celebration was infused with inspiration and joy, but tempered this year in the shadow of the anti-Semitic shooting in Pittsburgh that left 11 dead only eight days before, as well as the 10th anniversary of the murder of Rabbi Gabi and Rivky Holtzberg, directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai, in the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
