Chabad Mechanchos everywhere are booking tickets and making plans to attend the 10th Annual Kinus Mechanchos Chabad on July 15-16 / 19-20 Tammuz in Stamford, CT.
This year’s innovative program features an inspiring lineup of sessions, speakers, and tracks designed for every role in Chabad Chinuch—from preschool to high school, new teachers to seasoned leaders – together with inspiration, self-care, and fun.
The Rav in Residence of this year’s Kinus is Rabbi Yosef Yeshaya Braun, offering Chassidus learning and Ask the Rav sessions geared toward pertinent Chinuch questions. Noted Chabad psychologist Rabbi Dr. Yosef Shagalow will address our community’s mental health needs, and farbrengens will include inspiring Chinuch personalities such as Racheli Muchnik, Dena Gorkin, and Zeesy Deren.
