Differentiated Instruction-70 Facets

This is great for multi-level combined classes, engaging beginner students with basic texts with graphics and animation, while allowing advanced students to experience a concrete application for abstract ideas. Torat Emet – Torah of Truth Torah can be applied in many facets and the more it is brought down in concrete terms in the student’s world; the more it’s truth permeates their lives. Torah study involves process and product, a way of learning and an outcome of knowledge, both of which are vital parts of our Mesorah. This program gives each individual student the tools to tackle text and connect personally with the Torah. Each student is representing another facet of Torah (reflected in their work) reflecting the personality of their Neshomah and finding their unique portion -chelkeinu – b’Torasecha in your Torah.
