Tomchei Temimim Ocean Parkway has gone to great lengths to enhance every talmid’s learning experience by publishing their Chumash Step-by-Step and Mishnah Step-by-Step curricula for the first time.
The goal of these workbooks is to help talmidim learn Chumash and Mishnayos inside, reading and translating with thorough comprehension. Though that may sound simple, there are many pieces that go into it, such as Lashon HaKodesh vocabulary, basic dikduk, knowledge of musagim, breaking the text into phrases, and much more.
“The workbooks provide a complete, structured lesson that gives each boy a chance to practice each of the individual components of Limud HaTorah, while, at the same time, ensuring that all those components come back together,” said Aryeh Gurewitz, the school’s Limudei Kodesh curriculum developer. “It’s really just a thorough, step-by-step breakdown of what real, adult learning looks like.”
Each page is a platform for a classroom activity addressing one or more aspects of the learning. Some examples of what talmidim are asked to do are: preview new pesukim and mishnayos, review translations of hard words, draw pictures of important items and scenes, and prove that one can read and translate correctly.
When will it be available in the stores
Many adults, including bt’s and even those who went to yeshiva will also want to have access to these materials
I can’t thank Rabbi Gurewitz enough!
He is an unsung hero-giving access to our children to really have the experience of learning Torah.
No words to describe my appreciation!
A school who really care about each child
Will this be available for the public or only for the school?
What an amazing accomplishment! The booklets look beautiful and very professional! I’m sure it will be a big asset in the Chinuch of our children! You should go מחיל אל חיל!
