Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky obituary: leading figure in Chabad, the global movement for Hasidic Jews – The Times

Posted By on July 6, 2024

It was at the annual Kinus Hashluchim, a gathering of all the emissaries of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, that Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky could celebrate the scale of his and his colleagues achievement. The movement aimed to provide spiritual and material sustenance to Jewish communities across the globe and encourage Hasidic observance. As the gatherings expanded, Kotlarsky could see its success arrayed before him.

He helped to plan the event meticulously, including a gala banquet that kept outgrowing its venues and became, with more than 6,000 participants, what was called the largest sit-down dinner in New York City.

Kotlarsky, who revelled in the role of master of ceremonies, would take a roll call of each of the shluchim, or emissaries, from different parts of the world.
