Welcome to Torah Morah
Welcome to Torah Morah
I have been a teacher for more than thirty years. Since 1993 I have been teaching Hebrew and preparing children and adults for Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies.
As a Bar and Bat Mitzvah teacher I have planned and developed programs and educational goals, as well as unique teaching methods for my students.
My goal is to encourage a love and
respect for Judaism, promoting a sense of accomplishment and pride in
each student. Achieving the objectives of leading a service,
or part of a service, chanting the Maftir and Haftarah , understanding
and relating to the Parashah are all part of the journey.
The process of establishing these goals and completing the
program is a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience to be cherished and
used as a stepping stone for the future.
My individualized audio visual system has helped all my students achieve their goals. I tailor each plan according to respective requirements of the synagogues to which students belong and the rabbis.
