The students who join the project master the mitzvos in an incredible fashion. What is so amazing is that we are not only speaking about children who excel, but also that those students who are not usually connected to their studies love the material and joyously and enthusiastically learn and review the mitzvos.
EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS
One of the rebbes who is already teaching this material for the second year running, expresses his opinion on the Taryag Children project: “Aside from the students who feel exceptionally connected to this, the students acquire amazing concepts in Judaism along the way.
Dear Director Damen
Once again I want to congratulate and thank you for this amazing Mivtza. I see it by my Akiva, but also hear from many other parents, the tremendous excitement the boys have from learning Taryag Mitzvos. Amazing b”h! Not only do they spend so much free time learning Toire, but they have less time and interest in “screentime” ever since you started this Mivtza. The tremendous zchus zol enk baishtain! Kol tuv,
Dear Rav Damen loj”t,
Thanks very very much. Looked a little at video: wow!! The tarjak project on a whole is ABSOLUTELY amazing and adds on to the boys ahavas Toire and mitsvos! Thanks and appreciate all your efforts! Kol tov,
a complete different level
“Yaldei Taryag” is a revolutionary project which gives our children the knowledge in the 613 Mitzvos on a complete different level! We can’t thank enough the principal Harav Damen and the teachers for making this a reality. Our boys are so excited for the second year!
a profound effect
The project "Yaldei Taryag" has had a profound effect on my kids and my shabbos table. At present, I can just call out a number from 1 to 50 and my kids can tell me immediately which mitzva and many details about it. When it came Pesach we had so much to talk about because they knew all the mitzvos in detail about chametz, matzah and korban Pesach. They have learned many new concepts on the way and they are so eager to learn more and more and are excited to follow the program. Rabbi Damen has run the program in such a way where they get to review with lots of cheshek. with deep appreciation. thank you
To the very esteemed staff of our school Jesode Hatorah
Over the years that we had the privilege to send our children to the Jesoide Hatoire, we have witnessed constant, renewed investments in the development and spiritual growth of the talmidim. Recently you have developed an outstanding project for learning the Taryag Mitzves. The beautiful booklets, wonderful graphical video's for each mitzveh, along with the excitement around the whole project, resulted in an overwhelming success! There's not one child in the school whom I will ask about any of the mitzves learned, that will not answer me with great detail and most importantly lots of positive energy. It is difficult for us to express in words what a special environment this created in our home. Our children were breathing and inhaling the mitzves, constantly eager for the next mitzveh to come. It created an atmosphere of simcha and spiritual peaks. May Hashem give you all the koach and siyate dishmaye to continue in your wonderful avoidas hakoidesh for many more happy & healthy years.
much more exciting
This program has made yiddishkeit so much more exciting for my son. Presented in such a fun format makes them thirsty for more knowledge about our mitsvas and as a result they feel very connected to our torah and mitsvos
