The annual Chabad Worldwide Shluchim Conference opened Thursday in New York City. About 3,500 shluchim, or Chabad emissaries, are taking part. 

At the same time, another Chabad stream held its conference at 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, New York City.

The total number of Chabad shluchim worldwide is currently at 4,325, and they operate in 86 countries, in about 3,500 Chabad Houses and other Jewish institutions.

In the US and Canada alone, there are 960 active Chabad centers. Chabad also operates more Jewish congregations than any other body in North America, and their number is rising.

The Chabad network has spread to new countries, and as of this year includes Angola, Ghana, the Virgin Islands and Jamaica.

In Israel, there are no less than 332 Chabad Houses, operated by some 600 shluchim.
