Meeting friends from far and near, sharing inspiration and challenges confirms to me that I am fortunate, appreciated and needed. Most importantly, I feel part of this great army whose only weapon is a simple bright smile, (and perhaps a drop of wisdom)! Speaking of the army, the conference&#8217;s pinnacle is when gather together by the commander in chief at the Lubavitcher Rebbe&#8217;s resting place. Together, we each say our prayers, every individual representing their entire community, city, state, or even country at these auspicious moments.<br>&nbsp;<br>This year\u2019s Annual International Conference will be hosted on a virtual platform. While interactive events are a far cry from the real thing, it will still serve as a reminder that Chabad is here for every single Jew, from all corners of the world, in all situations. One advantage of going virtual: as big as the gala banquet usually is (7000+ participants), it is still limited to those attending. However, this year everyone can participate:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/link.c1email.org\/go.asp?li=ED2C4437C54DFAE155D13F2289B4807F&amp;ui=A655C68A76BE1A4DB1F08D934C8B28AA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.kinus.com\/grandevent<\/a><br>&nbsp;<br>I hope our next trip will be together with all the Jews of Taiwan and all over the world, toward the promised land and with the coming of redemption!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shabbat shalom.<br>Rabbi Shlomi Tabib<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shluchim-conference-2019-768x785-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-570\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/rabbishlomi-768x413-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-571\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This marks our 10th year in Ta &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/2020\/11\/14\/celebrating-10-years-in-taiwan\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Celebrating 10 years in Taiwan<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":947,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rabbis-corner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jtca.org.tw\/Chinese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
