REVIEWS

It was amazing to see how they took Sichos and made them so accessible, and easily understood for kids at a young age. The power points added a whole new dimension to the class, the images really brought the class to life. The fill in section of the student book really made the class interactive and kept the kids engaged. I received a lot of positive feedback from parents how they enjoyed hearing such a nice short Dvar Torah on the Parsha from their children. ~ Rabbi Levi Raskin, Cheder of New Haven
