Questions & answers for rabbis
How do I get started?
- Sign up as a rabbi and confirm your email (we send you a link). Had an account on the old Mehut site? It is already here: just sign in.
- Sign in and click Create a new group. Creating your group is required: members can only join, and their classes can only be counted, once your group exists.
- Enter the city and choose your study program, or choose Custom and write your own.
- Your group is active right away. Members can now find it in their list, and your members from last year see it at the top of their page.
Classes are delivered by your local Chabad center, by the Rabbi or Rebbetzin.
What do “English” and “Hebrew” mean in the program list?
Each program appears twice. The language is the language of the teacher’s manual you will receive. Next to it you can see the languages in which the members’ book is available on Amazon.
Do I need to approve members?
No. Members choose your group from a list and join it. There is no accept or reject step.
How do I record attendance?
Open your group and add a class (date and an optional topic). You will see your members, everyone starting as present. Switch anyone who was absent and save. You can come back to change it later. The Mehut team sees the attendance too, and each member sees their own classes and reward status on their page.
I gave classes before this website was ready.
Add each of those classes on your group page with its real date, and mark who was present, so every member gets the credit they earned. The members must have joined your group first. If you need help, contact us on WhatsApp.
I had an account on the old Mehut site (europe.mehut.me).
Your account has already moved here. Sign in with the email and password you used on the old site, or choose a new password with “Forgot your password?”. Then create your group for this year.
How many classes are there, and how do the levels work?
A yearly program usually has 18 classes, so that everyone can reach all the levels: Base (classes 1–4), Silver (5–9), Gold (10–14) and Platinum (15–18), according to the number of classes attended.
What do my members earn?
Their classes give them a status that they can use for one reward:
- The Mehut trip to the CYP international event in New York (January 2027): a discount with their status of last year (2025/26), or with the first 5 classes of this year (2026/27). Details.
- The Mehutton (May 2027): only classes of this year (2026/27) count.
- The money reward at the end of the year: €100 for Silver, €150 for Gold, or €200 for Platinum (rewards do not add up), paid to the member’s personal account, donated to Mehut, or donated to their local Chabad.
A class is never used twice: if a member uses this year’s first 5 classes for the New York discount, they do not count again for the Mehutton (10 more classes give Gold, 15 more give Platinum). Rewards are handled by the Mehut team.
Can I choose a Group Leader?
Yes, and we warmly encourage it. On your group page, click Make leader next to a member (up to 2 per group); the member gets a Leader tag. The leader is your right hand: scheduling with you and the members, leading parts of the class, reminding you to mark attendance, technical help, and contact with the Mehut team. The stipend is €150 per semester (6 classes), paid at the end of the year once you and the Mehut team confirm the leader’s service; two leaders share it. If at least 30% of your group joins the Mehutton, the leader earns an extra €150. The details are agreed with you, group by group.
What do I pay, and how?
The Mehut yearly fee is €159, once per rabbi. The teacher’s manual is €129 per course: you buy one each time you start a new course. You can pay online through the secure Stripe links in the Payments box on your home page, either everything in one go or each item separately. The payment itself happens on Stripe’s page, not on this website. Your home page shows your payment status once your payment is recorded. If you have already paid, there is no need to pay again. If you prefer another way, or have a question, the coordinator team will help you.
Who takes care of the books and materials?
The Mehut team manages, by hand, the Amazon links, the multimedia materials and the shipping of the manuals (JLI). Members pay nothing: their book is bought online on Amazon, either by the member or by you.
A member is in the wrong group, or I made a mistake.
You can edit your group (city, program, active or inactive) at any time. To move a member to another group, or to change your email, contact us on WhatsApp.
I forgot my password.
Use “Forgot your password?” on the sign-in page. We email you a link to choose a new password (the link works for 1 hour).
