Chabad is preparing for its annual shluchim convention next weekend in New York, an event that will be held under heightened security due to the ongoing war in Israel and the tragic killing of Rabbi Zvi Kogen, a Chabad emissary to Abu Dhabi, by a hit squad sent by Iran. A significant portion of the conference will be dedicated to honoring the memory of Rabbi Kogen, a Chabad insider revealed.
The convention takes place every year over Shabbos Mevorchim Kislev, bringing together approximately 6,000 Chabad shluchim from across the globe.

The White House National Security Council condemns the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the United Arab Emirates “in the strongest terms,” Sean Savett, a spokesman for the council, stated on Sunday evening.
“Our prayers are with his family, the Chabad-Lubavitch community, the broader Jewish community and all who are mourning his loss,” Savett said. “This was a horrific crime against all those who stand for peace, tolerance and coexistence. It was an assault as well on UAE and its rejection of violent extremism across the board.”

Last week, the Ocean County Board of Commissioners accidentally sent a letter congratulating Moshe Raitzik on his election, mistakenly addressing him as the “Committeeman-Elect” of New Jersey’s Lakewood Township, despite Raitzik’s defeat in the race for the committee seat.
The letter, dated November 20, 2024, and signed by Commissioners John P. Kelly and Virginia E. Haines, praises Raitzik for his “recent election” and expresses enthusiasm about the prospect of working together in the future. It also highlights the desire for collaboration on various issues affecting both Lakewood and the broader Ocean County community.
“If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our offices,” the letter concludes, extending warm congratulations and best wishes.

The Memphis Police Department is investigating the killing of Aviv Broek, 21, who was shot to death and whom officers found shortly after 1:15 a.m. on Friday morning on the 2300 block of Hernando Road.
“There has been no arrests in this case. This is an active investigation and there is no indication at this time of a hate crime,” the Tennessee department’s public information office told JNS. It added that it “is pursuing all leads.”
Israeli media had reported that local police was investigating the killing of Broek—which reports spelled “Brock”—as a suspected terror attack.

The Emirati interior ministry announced on Sunday night that it has arrested “the three perpetrators involved in the murder of Zvi Kogan, a Moldovan national according to his identification documents at the time of entry into the UAE, where he lived as a resident.”
The United Arab Emirates “strongly rejects any threat to societal security as Emirati authorities arrest perpetrators in Moldovan citizen’s murder in record time,” the ministry stated.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced the arrest of three individuals connected to the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, a Chabad Shliach who was kidnapped last Thursday.
“Full details of the incident will be disclosed upon the conclusion of the investigations,” stated authorities.

UAE Denounces Threats to Social Stability; Arrests Made in Moldovan Citizen’s Killing
Authorities in the UAE swiftly apprehended three suspects in connection with the murder of Zvi Kogan, identified as a Moldovan citizen based on his entry documents. Kogan was residing in the UAE at the time of the crime.

The body of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, one of the Chabad shluchim serving in the United Arab Emirates, was discovered on Sunday following a four-day search, according to local authorities. Rabbi Kogan was 28 years old.
Born on the 26th of Menachem Av 5756 (1996) to Rabbi Alexander and Etel Kogan, he grew up in a Litvish chareidi family in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood of Yerushalayim.
As a youth, Rabbi Kogan studied at Yeshivas Maoz Chayil in Yerushalayim, Rabeinu Chaim Ozer in Bnei Brak, and the Mir Yeshiva in Yerushalayim. Following his yeshiva studies, he served in the Israel Defense Forces as part of the Givati Brigade, an operational combat unit.

The Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters has issued its first official statement regarding the unsettling disappearance of one of its shluchim, Rabbi Zvi Kogan, who is feared to have been abducted or killed in Abu Dhabi.
“We are deeply concerned about Rabbi Zvi Kogan, a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary who went missing in the Emirati city of Dubai on Thursday,” the statement reads, attributed to Chairman Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky. “Our emissaries are working closely with authorities as they investigate his disappearance.”
The organization’s statement also emphasizes that Chabad is davening for Rabbi Kogan’s safe return and urges the wider community to join in those tefillos.

Fresh information has come to light regarding the disappearance of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary based in Abu Dhabi, according to Arutz Sheva.
Rabbi Kogan serves as an assistant to Rabbi Levi Yitzchok Duchman, the chief rabbi of the UAE. Before the incident, both rabbis were in Israel, where they met with Yossi Shelley, Israel’s incoming ambassador to the UAE.
