Understanding Pan Kloli
A Chassidic tradition of collective prayer and spiritual petition, bridging ancient wisdom with modern community needs through technology.
What is Pan Kloli?
Pan Kloli literally means "Pidyon Nefesh Kloli" - collective soul redemption. This special Chassidic tradition dates back to the Alter Rebbe (Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi) and was modernized in 1983 at the first Kinus HaShluchim (Gathering of the Emissaries).
The famous Shluchim photograph - showing hundreds of Chabad emissaries gathered at 770 Eastern Parkway - originated from the Pan Kloli signing ceremony. The Rebbe blessed this modern adaptation and requested annual visits to the Ohel and the iconic 770 photographs as part of the tradition.
It's important to understand that Pan Kloli is primarily a spiritual petition, not fundraising. The collective prayer carries our hopes for healing, success, and divine blessing. Tzedakah (charity) follows as a natural consequence of our spiritual commitment to supporting one another.
