The annual Kinus of Mesivta magidei shiurim and mashpiim will convene this Tuesday and Wednesday at the Lubavitch Mesivta in Westchester, NY.
The Kinus is organized by the Igud Mesivtas V’Yeshivos of Chabad Lubavitch, a division of the Merkos Chinuch Office. Rabbi Mendel Itzinger, director of the Igud, says mechanchim from some 17 mesivtas are expected.
He described the Kinus as “a serious get-together with the objective to give Mechanchim the opportunity to come together to discuss the contemporary challenges, give each other support, and map out the plan for next year.”
The program includes educational sessions led by colleagues and guests such as Rabbi Dr. Hershel Fried and Rabbi Moshe Wohlberg of Yeshiva Lubavitch in Manchester, UK.
The Kinus will feature individual tracks for magidei shiyur, mashpiim and menahalim. A number of especially successful magidei shiyur will present model lesson which their colleagues will critique.

most important is for the boys to feel you care about them. Give them warmth!! Be interested in them. Tune into them. build a relationship!! It’s more important than the curriculum. You are playing with children’s lives!! Practice Y’meen
M’kareves!! Admonish with sensitivity, love and understanding. All that is lacking so the boys get turned off and have no respect for the hanhalah.
They should learn. 1 Perek Rambam/ day. And know it for life after 3 years. Also learn Chumash Rashi.
Happy to see that speakers are those who actually have a successful track record.
I would ad rabbi Oster from Toronto
Great. I hope they use the time towards creation of a curriculum which clarifies the skillsets every level will gain at the end of every month and year and graduation. And maybe agree to include in such currcilulm a subject and course for life skills. And computer skills. Even if objective is that every student become a shliach (as impractical as that may be) shluchim need tools besides how to learn gemara and know halacha.It would also be interesting for each school to articulate what exactly their graduate is to look like and for what they are preparing this graduate
