Chabad-Lubavitch in Senegal: past holiday visits from Kinshasa; a permanent Chabad centre in the country was announced in May 2026 but no emissaries had been named

Chabad-Lubavitch in Senegal has no resident emissary yet. At the May 2026 gathering in Kinshasa marking 35 years of Chabad-Lubavitch of Central Africa, Chabad announced "a new Chabad center opening in Senegal", with "another young couple soon to establish a permanent Jewish presence in a country that has never had one".^[1] Chabad of Central Africa's undated "About Us" page (about 2012) already listed Senegal, with Mali, among the 13 countries where it worked.^[2]
