Schools

The HALB second grade students in Rabbi Lieberman’s class began to incorporate iPads into their Chumash learning. The pilot program is based on the Lehavin (l’havin) curriculum. Each lesson can be individualized, based on the students’ abilities. They are able to review the lesson at their own pace, and the program provides immediate feedback as to how they performed. The students enjoyed working on the iPads and are excited to learn Chumash in a new and exciting way!

SKA’S Listen and Learn Program, launched last year, continued on Tuesday, September 24, with additional machzor screencasts added to the Yom Tov library.

Between Yom Kippur and Sukkos, the students of the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls were inspired to actively participate in Simchas Torah by studying parshiyos of the Chumash and completing their learning in a siyum held on Simchas Torah.

On Thursday, October 3, MTA Juniors joined the Jewish Home Family’s Safely@Home program and built sukkos for those who were unable to build their own in the New Jersey Jewish community. Talmidim enjoyed participating in this program, which enables them to help community members fulfill this important mitzvah. The initiative is part of MTA’s Chesed program, which partners with local organizations to help Jewish communities in the tri-state area. MTA has worked with the Jewish Home Family for many years and was honored during the organization’s awards ceremony over the summer for devoting more than 100 hours of service to the Safely@Home program.
