Do you live too far from a religious 

school for your 

child to be educated in a 

classroom environment?

Or are you unsatisfied with your 

child's current religious school 

education?

Do you miss parental involvement

 in your child's 

Jewish learning? 

Do the fights over conflicting 

activities and carpooling 

drive you crazy?

Does your child like learning via

 the computer?

Introducing the world's first and 

only internet based

 Hebrew school, 
for children ages 8-13. This 
program utilizes information
 available on the web, plus much
 of our own creation,
in a curriculum organized by us.
 It assumes parent-child
engagement and cooperation in the
 learning process, 
as they work through
the material.
-The latest direction in Jewish 
education is geared 
toward family involvement. 
-The secular university is moving
 much more in the 
direction of independent 
learning as well as learning via 
the web. 
This article from the Chicago 
tribune
 recently helps explain:"one theme is a shift from a 
passive model of 
absorbing a lecturer's words to a 
more active one 
where lecturers guide 
and measure, but students learn 
the material more 
independently.
"In a traditional course the 
faculty are doing all the work and the students 
are watching," said Carol Twigg, 
president and CEO of the National
 Center 
for Academic Transformation, which
 is working with hundreds of 
universities
 to improve giant courses. 
"In a redesigned course, 
students are doing the 
work and faculty are stepping
 in as needed."
 
Our programs is based on students 
learning under parent
 supervision, 
outside of the traditional 
classroom, with support of a 
teacher and tutor available to 
assist.
 
-We also take advantage of the 
revolution in communication-the
 resources 
on the web, as well as the prolific Jewish educational 
resources our Rabbi has created
 on the web.
We are also cognizant of the 
overwhelming challenges 
families today
 face in juggling all the family
 needs. This program 
allows the student and parents to 
work at 
their timetable and largely avoids the need to shlep. 
 
-At the same time, there appears 
to be less family 
interactive activities today, and 
especially 
centered around Jewish living. 
Many parents did not grow 
up Jewishly or had very little 
Jewish
 educations, so this will achieve
 multiple benefits.
 This wil prove beneficial on both counts.
-Most importantly, evidence seems 
clear that standard 
religious schools in 
their current format, achieve 
little, and may even be 
counter productive. This view 
enjoys wide support 
among Jewish educators. We believe childfren will learn
 and retain more, and enjoy it more since it means 
more parent time and, 
interaction, uses a "cool" medium, and can be done at
 the families discretion 
time-wise, obviating many 
conflicts.
