Chabad Trains 200 New Teachers to Join Nationwide Educational Network

This week, Chabad completed the training of 200 new teachers who will join its educational institutions across Israel. The trend of young yeshiva students choosing careers in education, known within Chabad as "Shluchéi Chinuch" (education emissaries), has been growing recently. These newly certified teachers finished a comprehensive training program offered by Chabad's educational network, Oholei Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch, and are set to begin teaching in the upcoming school year.

The training program is a significant initiative in the Hasidic Torah world, designed to provide young scholars with professional pedagogical skills alongside a strong spiritual foundation required for educators today. Organizers emphasize that the role goes beyond traditional teaching, aiming to prepare these educators as "education emissaries" who combine high professional standards with deep personal commitment to their students' spiritual futures.

The graduation ceremony was attended by rabbis, yeshiva heads, and public figures. The keynote speaker, Rabbi Chaim Yitzchak Isaac Landa, Chief Rabbi of Bnei Brak, highlighted the importance of fear of Heaven as the foundation for educational success. Other speakers included Rabbi Menachem Mendel Gluchovsky, Deputy Secretary of the Chabad Rabbinical Court in Israel and Rabbi of the Chabad community in Rehovot, Rabbi Naftali Roth from the education committee, and Rabbi Eliyahu Kritchvesky, CEO of the network.
