Chabad Announces Tuition-Scholarship Fund and Teacher-Training Center at Kinus

Chabad announced a tuition-scholarship fund and a new teacher-training resource center at Sunday's Kinus Hashluchim banquet in Edison, New Jersey.

Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky unveiled the Chabad Education Fund, intended to help families who cannot afford Jewish day-school tuition, according to Chabad.org's report on the November 8 event.

He also announced the Chinuch Center, a dedicated resource and training center for Jewish educators planned for Crown Heights. The announcements were part of a wider set of education initiatives for the coming year.

About 6,500 emissaries and guests attended the banquet at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center, closing the 43rd International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries.

The report did not give an application opening date, scholarship amounts or eligibility rules for the new fund. The announcements do not mean applications are already open or that the center has been built.
