Four thousand, four hundred rabbis from around the world gathered for a group photo in Brooklyn over the weekend — an annual tradition that began in 1983, at the first International World Lubavitcher conference in Crown Heights.
Back then, only around 65 rabbis were made to line up in front of World Lubavitcher headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway and pose for the group pic.
These days, the maneuver is a little trickier.
