The Final Three Chinuch Pitches Have Been Chosen

The top three finalists in this year’s Chinuch Pitch have officially been selected and will present live this Wednesday at the international Kinus Hamechanchim. 

After receiving many creative and thoughtful submissions, the pitches were first reviewed and narrowed down by a panel of judges. Then, the public had the opportunity to weigh in and vote on which ideas they believe are most needed in Chinuch today.

The results are in.

The Top Three Finalists

Pitch #1: Mechanchim Exchange Resource Drive
Presented by Rabbi Yoel Vogel

A searchable website where Lubavitcher teachers can easily share and access teaching materials, tailored specifically to Chabad-style and Chassidishe topics.

Pitch #3: The Jewish Classroom
Represented by Rabbi Zalmy Kudan

An online marketplace for frum teachers to buy and sell curriculum, providing a kosher alternative for both Jewish and general studies materials.

Pitch #9: Real Life Lessons
Presented by Rabbi Shneur Zalman Phillips

A website offering a searchable collection of Chassidishe stories, helping teachers bring lessons to life with ready-to-use content.

Each finalist is offering a different vision for strengthening Chinuch.

Will the winning idea be a platform for shared resources? A marketplace for curriculum? Or an initiative built around powerful, real-life stories?

That decision will be made live at the Kinus HaMechanchim.

The three finalists will present their pitches during the Chinuch Pitch ceremony, and Kinus participants will have the opportunity to vote live and help determine which idea will receive up to $18,000 to bring it to life.

Those who are unable to attend in person will also be able to watch the Chinuch Pitch ceremony live.

A special thank-you goes to the Chinuch Pitch judges — Rabbi Chanoch Hecht, Rabbi Dovid Blasberg, and Rabbi Shneur Wilhelm — for the significant time, thought, and careful consideration they invested in reviewing the submissions and helping narrow the field to the top ten.

Join the Kinus and be there as the future of Chinuch takes center stage.
