Lubavitch and Lakewood meet in… Pennsylvania.
The Leadership Summit & Retreat for Menahelei Mosdos Chabad, directors and board members of Chabad schools and educational institutions, was held this week in Clarks Summit, PA, at The Jewish Discovery Center.
The event, which brought together heads of Chabad schools from around the world, included an unusual guest.
Rabbi Aaron Kotler, President of Beth Medrash Govoha (BMG), also known as the Lakewood Yeshiva, was a guest speaker at the two-day retreat that was organized by the Menachem Education Foundation (MEF).
Alongside Roshei Yeshiva, Rabbi Aaron Kotler acts as the President and CEO of the renowned Torah institution with approximately 7,000 students and 13,000 alumni. His participation was coordinated by his close friend, Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Executive Vice President of American Friends of Lubavitch (Chabad) in Washington, DC.
At the retreat, Rabbi Kotler led 2 sessions for the Chabad menahalim and principals, on the topics of “Upping the efficacy of your moisad chinuch” and “Building your board and major gifts.”
In his remarks, Rabbi Kotler discussed maximizing an institution’s efficacy through optimum engagement with donors and stakeholders. He also addressed setting and maintaining the organizational structure, and dealing with pressures and adversaries.
Definitely we are getting closer to greeting Moshiach
Absolutely inspiring and the way to move forward to Moshiach!!
At the end of the day, as the Rebbe has taught us, the most important thing in Hashem’s eyes is Achdus among his children.
This is very special and much credit to the Rabbi for participating and the organizers for inviting.
Getting Rabbi Kotler is only with the Rebbe’s brochos.
Keep up the amazing work that you do for lubavitche chinuch around the globe!
