If you hold or are looking to hold any Chinuch position for the coming school year, then you will enjoy the tools, networking, and inspiration provided by this event. This includes both Limudei Kodesh or General Studies, school leadership or teaching roles, assistants and specialists, for ages 2 through 12th grade. Whether you are a new teacher-in-training or a veteran educator, Mechanchos of all ages and stages have enjoyed this event. This is a Chabad event, however you are welcome to join whatever kind of school you teach in. Please be respectful of Chabad values when attending the Kinus. 

This event is for women only. Please make other arrangements for your family at that time, as we cannot accommodate spouses and children at the hotel. Infants up to 24 months can join you provided that they participate in the babysitting program listed in the registration options.

Please refer to our new 3 tier pricing structure on the registration section of this page. We ask educators to please pay the actual cost if possible (tier 1), or the subsidized price (tier 2). Tier 3 and scholarships are to ensure that no teacher is left behind from participating in this conference.

Your registration includes the hotel accommodations, workshops and sessions, meals and refreshments and any additional amenities provided by the hotel such as swimming. This is true regardless of which pricing tier you choose, unless you select Daytime or Banquet only. Bussing and Babysiting are an additional fee that you can select during registration.

We have included extended stay options for before and after the program in the registration form. Please note that there is no programming, meals or refreshments provided before program start time and after the program concludes. If you are reserving an extra night at the hotel, please ensure that you packed all of your needs for the extended stay.

Bussing and babysitting can only be reserved at the time that you register. Please make your best guess when registering, and if changes need to be made at a later point, please email us at [email protected].

If you’re coming by car, you can choose to meet our group at the Ohel at 9:00 AM, or at the hotel in time for the program to begin at noon. Please come a little bit early to give you adequate time to obtain your room key and sign in to the program. If you have space in your car (or taxi), please join the ride sharing WhatsApp group to offer rides to others who may need a similar ride as you. There is an additional $10 fee for parking at the hotel.

When registration opens, a Program Highlights document features our growing list of presenters and sessions, and it is updated regularly until the full schedule is ready. The final daily schedule will be posted just prior to the Convention. You can view this year’s growing presenter list by clicking here. You can get a general sense of the style and caliber of programming by viewing last year’s program guide here. If you need to make a scheduling decision based on program details that are not yet posted, please email us with your specific query at [email protected].

We endeavor to provide a variety of nutritious options at each meal and for refreshments, including non-dairy and gluten free items. If you have a specific allergy or dietary request, please contact us at [email protected].

One of the most beautiful features of the Kinus Mechanchos Chabad is the atmosphere of camaraderie and focus on shared values. Feel free to dress accordingly in a comfortable but professional fashion. You may wear formal attire for the Banquet if you wish, but it is not required. Please adhere to the Chabad standard for Tznius dress.

Water bottles, refreshments, pens and notepads will be provided to you. The hotel room comes stocked with your showering needs. Please feel free to bring anything else that will make you comfortable during your stay. Hotels tend to maintain a chilly temperature in the session rooms as well as bedrooms, so feel free to bring an extra layer for the daytime in case it’s needed, as well as an extra layer of sleepwear if you think you might be cold. (You can also adjust the thermostat in your individual room upon arrival.) If you enjoy swimming, please bring your bathing suit as well.

Out of respect for fellow participants, please do not come if you have an active contagious illness. (Similarly, please do not bring a sick child to the babysitting program.) At the same time, we do not take responsibility for the health-related conduct or outcomes of anyone participating in the Kinus. If you are at-risk or have health concerns at the Kinus, please use your own discretion in choosing to participate or taking any precautions that will make you feel more comfortable at the event.

Should you need to cancel before June 27, you will be refunded  50% of your registration fee. After that date, only health related cancellations will receive the 50% refund. No other refunds will be available.

The event is under the CHK, with a mashgiach Timidi.
