Teachers and principals from across North America joined for a two-day educational conference in Piscataway, NJ hosted by Chabad’s Educational Office – Merkos Chinuch.
Now in its eighth year, the Men’s Summer Chinuch Conference attracted educators from Chabad institutions throughout the US.
“The Kinusim moved away from simply presenting fresh and exciting ideas, to fully developing a dominant theme from concept to practice,” said Education Office Director Rabbi Nochum Kaplan. “If past Kinusim presented a smorgasbord of educational ideas, then this year we are presenting a full course meal, from soup to nuts.”
The conference included lectures and workshops by leading educators from around the US including Rabbi Dr. Dovid Jacobson, of Yeshiva Educational Services – Los Angeles, Rabbi Dr. Dov Leibenstein, of Associated Talmud Torahs – Chicago, Rabbi Yoseph Y. Rosenblum, Principal, Yeshiva Schools – Pittsburgh, Rabbi Meir Fachler, Director Gemorah Brurah Foundation and Rabbi Menachem Greenbaum, Cheder Menachem Los Angeles.
“The presentations are on a high professional level. The schedule is tight. The topics are current,” said Rabbi Kaplan. “I expect everyone will find a multitude of new attitudes and ideas to take home with them.”

I look at the pictures here and its shocking to see how many “educators” are here I do not see any off the “BIG” rosh yeshiva or rosh mesvita here out of all the chabad schools this all you can put togather I must come to concluson like so many others in the community that if they were really intrested in the chinuch of our kids you would improve themself I see rabbis in white beards who joined the confrence because you can never learn to much . look at the torah umesora convention and lern from them A loving… Read more »
While it would be nice for ALL of us to have professional development paid for, no matter what field we are in, and I think it should be a high priority for teachers to have been at this conference. They don’t mind paying to attend the Kinnus Hashluchim which has a huge social and huge ego aspect to it as well, which this conference does not. As one who pays plenty much for tuition (more than most others), all of our children deserve to have teachers who value training and personal growth.
From all my teachers that I had I remember Rabbi Witkes, he taught us lots of chasidishe inyonim, I hope the kids in NJ appreciate him
alot of people want to go out on shlichus and be the new “slickster” i look at some of these boys some of them i know personally
and i look at all their faces hardworking and committed real responsibilities and real questions doing real shlichus not just choosing a nice tie and greasing people
we are proud of you
Most teachers’ “vacation” equals a second job, and since no one reimburses them for their time or expenses, the chinuch conference is, unfortunately, not an option.
It would be nice, no, it should be mandatory for all of the yeshivas to pay for all teachers and rebbeim to attend these conferences and support continuing education for our educators. Oh, but that would mean that the community, including parents and philanthropists and administrations would put the chinuch of our children before other things…..
Only one teacher from Lubavitch Yeshiva what happened to everyone else. Couldn’t take extra time off their summer vacation
