Mr. Avraham Banda
for sponsoring the new
Shluchim Residence

Dear Mrs. Rosenfeld,

This has been a really wonderful year in the Shluchim Online Ochool for Mendel.

He transformed from being really shy to proudly standing at the Shabbos table and sharing what he learned in school. He feels he has friends, other kids who look like him. He now has pride that he is a shliach. He runs to his preschool class after his Online School session and teaches the other children what he learned: about a mitzvah, tanya baal peh and others.

Today he learned about nekudos, and I watched his face light up as he understood how to 'read'.

Morah Brocha Leah Sosonkin is truly a master at teaching. She notices each child and makes them feel so special. You can feel her love for the children coming through the computer screen.

Thank you for your devotion in making the Online School the success it is.

With appreciation,

Alizah Silberstein
Chernigov, Ukraine

The Americas G8 division will be hosting its graduation on Sunday, Yud Sivan (12th of June) and the European G8 division will be on Tuesday, Yud Tes Sivan (21st of June).

Please click here for more information.

Upcoming Torah Maven Deck

The Hebrew School Network is currently in the middle of creating a beautiful Yedios Klolios package called 'Torah Maven - A Pack of Facts.'

Torah Maven is a bound pack of cards similar to the Brainquest concept and includes suggestions for the teacher on how to put them to use in the classroom.

These can be used as a part of the curriculum or an entirely separate exercise, providing a fun way for children to learn basic Jewish facts.

Stay tuned for more details!

Shluchim Online School Parent Workshop

This week, the Shluchim Online School hosted two parent workshops featuring renowned internet expert and crime investigator, Mr. Phillip Rosenthal.

Mr. Rosenthal educated us on the dangers and expense of the Internet as well as providing practical tips to implement.

It was an eye-opening presentation with explicit details on the repercussions of what can start off as an innocent mistake.

Mr. Rosenthal goes on speaking tours all over the world and has given his seminar to many Chabad house communities. If you would like his contact information, please just send us an e-mail.
