Final Preparations as Mechanchim Arrive for Kinus HaMechanchim

The air is buzzing with last-minute preparations as mechanchim from across the world land in New York for this week’s Kinus HaMechanchim. From remote cities and major Chabad communities alike, hundreds of educators are converging on Stamford, Connecticut, each bringing the passion and responsibility that defines their important shlichus.

“This gathering is an opportunity for mechanchim to share insights and recharge their spirit and dedication,” said Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, Executive Director of Merkos 302. “Our goal is to empower every educator so they can bring fresh inspiration and strength back to their critical Shlichus.”

The Kinus will begin with Shacharis at 770 Eastern Parkway, followed by an uplifting program a the Ohel, where mechanchim will participate in shiurim in Chassidus and a communal reading of their Pan Kloli.

The main program will unfold at the Armon Hotel and Conference Center in Stamford, CT, where mechanchim will dive into workshops, farbrengens, and presentations focused on real-world chinuch impact. While each mechanech carries the unique challenges of his classroom, they are united by a shared mission: giving the gift of a proper chinuch to the next generation.
