With a renewed sense of achrayus for the future of Chassidishe homes, Machon Taharas Habayis welcomed a new cohort of aspiring Madrichei Chassanim as the latest Chosson Teacher Training Course officially got underway.

The evening was opened by Machon director Rabbi Menachem Mendel Yusewitz, who welcomed the participants and spoke about the tremendous zechus and responsibility entrusted to those preparing the next generation of Chassanim.

The keynote address was delivered by Rabbi Sholom Ber Chaikin, senior Chabad Rav of Cleveland, Ohio, veteran Chosson teacher, and the longtime Rav of Mikvah.org. Together with the Crown Heights Badatz, Rabbi Chaikin has been one of the visionaries behind Machon Taharas Habayis, working tirelessly to raise the standards of Taharas Hamishpacha in the Rebbe’s shechunah and throughout the wider Lubavitch community.

Drawing upon decades of experience, Rabbi Chaikin shared the tremendous responsibility and privilege of serving as a Madrich Chosson, while offering practical guidance, valuable insights, and critical perspectives from the field. His heartfelt words inspired the participants as they embarked on this important shlichus of helping establish Batei Yisroel on the foundations of Torah, Halacha, and Chassidus.

The course then began with its opening segment, led by Rabbi Yitzchok Meir Einstein, who introduced the participants to the yesodos of preparing Chassanim with clarity, sensitivity, and dedication to Halacha. This was all brought together by Rabbi Chananya Hoffinger and Rabbi Yossi Overlander, who worked tirelessly on preparing the course.

The launch comes following the enthusiastic endorsement of Crown Heights rov Rabbi Yosef Yeshaya Braun, who recently reviewed the curriculum and expressed deep admiration for the program. Reflecting on the immense responsibility of teaching Hilchos Taharah, Rabbi Braun became visibly emotional, praising the way the material was carefully organized and brought to life in a practical and relatable manner for both teachers and talmidim.

As another group of dedicated Rabbonim prepares to become certified Madrichei Chassanim, Machon Taharas Habayis continues its mission of strengthening the kedusha of the Yiddishe home, ensuring that every Chosson enters marriage equipped with the Halachos, Hashkafos, and guidance necessary to build a true Bayis Ne’eman B’Yisroel.

Applications are still being accepted for this cohort. Those who have been considering becoming a certified chosson teacher are encouraged not to delay. Once registration closes, the next opportunity may not be available for some time.
