Group Photo: Kinus Hamechanchim 5785

354 mechanchim from Chabad Yeshivos worldwide stood shoulder to shoulder in Stamford, Connecticut, for the annual Kinus Hamechanchim group photo. Representing countries as far-reaching as Argentina, South Africa, Paraguay, England, and Israel, they came together with a shared mission of nurturing the next generation of Chassidim in the spirit of the Rebbeim’s chinuch vision. The group photo captured the powerful feeling of achdus and dedication that defined the overall energy of the kinus.

“The Rebbe taught that chinuch isn’t just about transferring knowledge, it’s about shaping a Talmid’s entire approach to life,” said Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, General Chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch’s Chinuch Office. “When we bring mechanchim together, we’re reinforcing their shared mission and the chassidishe values they embody every day in the classroom, ensuring every Lubavitcher Talmid feels seen, guided, and uplifted.”
