This could be the world's largest #MannequinChallenge performed by rabbis — it drew over 5,000 Orthodox rabbis from 90 countries. The massive rabbinic gathering took place at the 33rd annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries (Kinus Hashluchim) in Brooklyn, New York, on November 27.

Some of the rabbis managed "freeze" posing like mannequins, while others couldn't resist moving or talking. "It's hard to get thousands of rabbis to stay still, but we went for it!" Chabad, the conference organizer, said in a tweet.
Chabad also streamed some conference proceedings on Facebook Live and Periscope, as well as posted highlights on Snapchat using Snapchat Spectacles.
Kinus Hashluchim is an annual event aimed at reviving Jewish awareness and practice around the world.
