It started as a little side project inside the Chinuch App, an app I am working on to help centralize all tools needed for a Chinuch institution.

I wanted to share with other teachers something that I had created for the classroom, so I built a simple marketplace into the app. Nothing major; just a way for teachers to upload what they made and let other teachers use it.

That’s when it hit me: there really isn’t a marketplace built for Jewish teachers.

Teachers are already creating incredible worksheets, games, slides, activities, and resources every day. They spend hours, weeks, even years creating the best classroom aids. Some share what they create on Google Drive, or a PDF circulates on WhatsApp groups — there are great resources scattered everywhere, eventually getting buried or lost. Some are more organized and use the national teacher marketplaces, but they’re not built for Jewish education, the content isn’t filtered for our classrooms, and the platforms take a pretty big cut.

So that little side project became something more: a marketplace just for Lubavitcher teachers.

Everything is focused on Yiddishe, chassidishe, and kosher content. And you don’t even have to sell—upload something for free and let another teacher benefit from it.

Instead of another great resource getting lost in a Google Drive somewhere, let’s put it somewhere other teachers can actually find it.

And no, you don’t need to use the Chinuch app to use the marketplace; they are separate functions.

Sometimes something you build for yourself turns out to be something everyone needed.
