In honor of 50 years Mivtzah Chinuch, The Merkos Chinuch Office is excited to announce the upcoming establishment of a new Chinuch Center, to be located in Crown Heights.
This center will be a developing hub to support all those involved in Chinuch. The goal is to create a space, both physical and online, that offers guidance, resources, collaboration, and practical tools for Mechanchim, Mechanchos and principals. This initiative is focused on ultimately benefiting lubavicther children, by supporting their educators to strengthen Chinuch and raise the next generation of Chassidim.
“Everything begins and ends with Chinuch,” said Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, General Chairman of Merkos’s Chinuch Office. “If we want resilient Chassidishe homes and communities, we must first empower those who shape our children each day. This center gives them a place to grow, to create, and to inspire.”
The new center will offer a physical workspace and support hub, while also providing a full online platform with resources, tools, and guidance accessible from anywhere.
“This is about supporting mechanchim in a real, practical, and thoughtful way,” said Rabbi Zalmy Loewenthal, Associate Director of the Merkos Chinuch Office. “We are listening carefully to what is needed, and we are building this together with the community.”
Our Educational Directors, Mrs. Shterna Rappaport and Mrs. Sara Blau, are looking forward to creating this center with you in mind, ensuring it reflects the needs, ideas, and vision of every mechanech and mechaneches.
As this initiative launches in the days following Yud Tes Kislev, it resonates with the timeless message of “Lichsheyafutzu Mayonosecha Chutzah”, spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus outward. The Chinuch Center is another step in ensuring that Torah and Chassidus reaches our children.

The Chinuch Center will grow according to what Mechanchim and Mechanchos truly need.

This is so impressive! Seems super practical and helpful for everyone in Chinuch!!
what about parents?
can these resources be available to parents as well?
can there be resources to specifically support parents in the chinuch of their children, similar to the resources being offered to teachers.
chinuch at home
school home partnership
Will it be separate? There are a lot of single teachers. Is this a priority for Merkos?
I imagine Merkos will have that in mind and have separate hours
What’s single got to do with it?
Married ppl shouldn’t be hanging out with the opposite gender either.
Where is it located?
What a beautiful and much needed center! It is refreshing to merkos recognizing the value and contribution and challenges of chinuch in such a meaningful way!
If only they would have a resource room like torah unesorah has for teachers!!! To prep, print, laminate, etc..for minimal prices
