The annual Kinus Hashluchim is just days away, and once again the Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim by the Shluchim Office has released a new theme song.
The song connects with the theme of this year’s Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim – איין זאך מיט דער משלח, which stresses the constant empowerment from the Rebbe of each Shliach, and the continued presence of the Rebbe now.
Also, already underway, hundreds of young Shluchim have begun to prepare for their trip by participating in the Hachana program that the Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim has released. Details can be found at youngshluchim.org/hachana.
The Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim extends a special thanks to Shneur Zalman Minkowitz, Shliach in Chevy Chase, MD, who composed the lyrics to the song, as well as Eli Marcus who recorded the vocals and Chony Milecki for the music.

T.T.T.O. Rosh Chodesh Kislev Niggun
Shluchim have come again
Some may remember when
At the first kinus[1]
Hundreds came to be
The Rebbe stood by his place
A shine on his holy face
Speaking with Nachas
To his family
The Rosh Benei Yisroel, our heart and mind[2]
The life of a Rebbe, by a Guf is not defined[3]
You taught us that Brachos are flowing as before[4]
And that your presence is with us even more[5]
To end our[6] Galus, treasures[7] you have spent
We carry your banner, “טוט אלץ וואס איר קענט”[8]
Rebbe your Koach, your holy glow
Is only getting stronger, continuing to grow
Look and see
Zar-oh-Ba-Chaim
You are within us when we reach new places[9]
This year your picture has 4 thousand faces
Rebbe we display, that you lead the way[10]
“נאך מער לעבעדיק”[11] stronger every day
Look and see
Af Hu-Ba-Chaim
A shepherd faithful to your generation[12]
You care for every Jew in every nation
No place is too small, no one is to far
This is your mission, this is who you are[13]

Its not so easy to put a great Rebbe like ours ,and describe Him in a song that is limited by virtue of the fact that it is a song .
But this song goes a long way. The words touches the neshama,and hopefully will inspire the kids who sing it to maase bpoel
Stronger and better than ever !
Keep doing the great work !
Yasher koach Shneur Zalman Minkowitz!
The song is filled with toichen.
A niggun with marei mekomois. Wow!
It’s not only for Tzerei Hashluchim, this niggun inspires every chosid.
Yasher koach to the entire outstanding crew for organizing the unforgettable Kinus Tzerei Hashluchim.
Uplifting
Energizing
And tune so appropriate for kinus and the amazing work the shluchim do
and for shnas ha’arboyim of Rosh Chodesh kislev
We want Moshiach NOW!
So beautiful, Hatzlacha Rabba!
Your best yet. Keep it up!
to see the Rebbe in a guf again
Thank you so much for the beautiful song
