Chosson Classes Institute Collaborating With Veteran Teachers

Following the launch of Machon Taharas Habayis, an organization created to provide a high-quality training and accreditation program to Chosson teachers under the auspices of the Badatz, the Machon has been actively collaborating with many respected Chosson teachers on various new initiatives.

In addition to researching and setting up a high-quality training program, Rabbi Tuvia Kasimov and Rabbi Mendel Yusewitz are working on setting up a mentoring program for new aspiring Chosson teachers. A group of veteran Chosson teachers have joined Machon Taharas Habayis to ensure a continued commitment to the standards of Kedusha that our community maintains and to advance the quality of the education and resources given to new Chassanim.

The Vaad of Machon Taharas Habayis includes Rabbis of the Bais Din of Crown Heights Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba and Rabbi Yosef Yeshaya Braun as well as Rabbi Sholom Ber Chaikin of Cleveland, the Rov of Mikvah.org.

Along with the training program and standards, Machon Taharas Habayis has arranged for Rabbonim of various communities to give periodic Shiurim, addressing the many Shaalos that Chosson teachers are faced with.

“In addition to our appreciation to the veteran Chosson teachers who were instrumental in helping us reach this point, we extend a special Yasher Koach to Rabbi Chaim Yisroel Wilhelm for his tremendous efforts,” Rabbi Kasimov and Rabbi Yusewitz said.

In a letter to the community, the Machon writes:

B’shaah Tova, in a joint effort to maintain a high level of Kedusha, an esteemed group of veteran Chosson Teachers in collaboration with Machon Taharas Habayis compiled common standards and joined a pact committing to our Heilige values as Yidden and Chassidim.
