Keynote and Post-Banquet Farbrengen Announced for Kinus HaMechanchim
Rabbi Benjy Korf, Head of School of Lubavitch Educational Center in Miami, Florida, has been announced as the keynote speaker at the banquet of this year’s Kinus HaMechanchim.
The Annual International Kinus HaMechanchim will take place on July 28–29 / י״ד–ט״ו מנחם אב at the Armon Hotel in Stamford, Connecticut, bringing together mechanchim, principals, administrators, and school leaders from across the Chabad school network for two days of inspiration, professional development, and connection.
This year’s banquet will focus on the theme: “פרומע, ערליכע, ווארימע, חסידישע אידן — Focused on the עיקר.”
Rabbi Korf will address the central mission of Chinuch: raising students to be frum, ehrlich, warm, and Chassidishe Yidden. Drawing on his years of experience leading one of the largest Chabad schools in the country, he will speak to the heart of the mechanech’s shlichus and the responsibility of staying focused on the עיקר in today’s classroom.
“Rabbi Benjy Korf brings decades of hands-on dedication to Chinuch, focused on what matters most: raising children to be frum, ehrlich, warm, and Chassidishe Yidden,” said Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, General Chairman of Merkos Chinuch Office. “His message at the Kinus banquet will speak to every mechanech’s shlichus — staying focused on the עיקר and giving talmidim a strong foundation for life.”
The banquet is expected to be one of the highlights of the Kinus, bringing together hundreds of mechanchim for an evening dedicated to strengthening and celebrating the vital work of Chinuch.
Following the banquet, a special farbrengen will be led by Rabbi Yossi Paltiel, giving mechanchim the opportunity to continue the inspiration of the evening in a warm and uplifting atmosphere, with niggunim, stories, and meaningful reflections that will help carry the message of the Kinus into their daily avodah in Chinuch.
The Kinus will feature a full program of sessions, tracks, workshops, and networking opportunities designed for mechanchim, principals, administrators, and school leaders.
Stay tuned for exciting new tracks focused on AI and curriculum development.
