The Shoroshim Flash
Cards (a Ba’er Hetev
Program)
Published by Torah Umesorah For years mechanchim used the Shoroshim Flash Cards to reinforce vocabulary skills in the teaching of Chumash. Research has shown that a child who has a mastery of 270 of the most frequent shoroshim in the first three parshios of Sefer Bereishis has the ability to decode more than 80% of the text himself. In other words, a Rebbi or Morah who teaches these 270 words to mas-tery will not only enrich his or her children with Lashon Hakodesh but also give students the tools for Chumash learning for the rest of their lives. Torah Umesorah’s Ba’er Hetev Program has developed a program that can help Rebbeim and Moros reach this great objec ve. Included in this boxed resource is an instruc on booklet for maximizing use of the cards. Each durable card has a large view of the shoresh without nekudos on one side (facing the class) and a small view WITH nekudos and the exact source in the chumash on the other side for the teacher/morah. A er several years of its being out of print, the highly demanded resource is now revised, revamped and ready to enhance your teaching. An eminently worthwhile investment for your class—
or for your yeshiva.

‫משנה ברורה עם פאר‬
‫הלכה על הלכות ציצית‬
Rabbi Dovid Hirsch This oversized, hardcover sefer is a phenomenal tool for the teaching of ,‫הלכות ציצית‬ especially useful where the
intricacies of the halachah and the details of how to prepare the ‫ארבע כנפות‬ are taught. Suggested as a rebbi’s resource, or as a library reference source, rather than as a text for every student to use. At the same me, many talmidim will surely wish to own it. It contains the full text of ‫הלכות ציצית‬, including the ‫צורת הדף‬ of the ‫משנה ברורה‬, with shading on the
por ons that are illuminated via clear and detailed illustra ons on the opposite page. There is an appendix with explanatory notes as well. 150 pages. B x W M277

Ler’n Zich Leinen
(series of two)
by M. Braun and B.
Y. Braun
An original TU PublicaƟon
A child's beginning of Torah study is a very special occasion, whose impact can last for many years to come. Offering him or her a book that is colorful and pleasant, while also being systema c, has the poten al to transform the experience of haschalas Chumash into an exci ng adventure that will last for months… and years! Anu Lomdim Chumash presents the first three perakim of Bereishis, which are narra ve by nature, by using varied types of review, building of skills, light exercises and graphics that will immediately enhance the child’s ability to learn. The text, which is 72 pages long and brightly colored, offers the en re text of the Chumash with easy-tonavigate linear transla on. This is both colorcoded and offers explanatory notes for words which are “lashon ha’Torah.” There are sec ons on “connec ng words,” “connec ng le ers,” “vav
hahipuch,” “word families,” vocabulary building and more. There are also sec ons of text review, as well as a thorough introduc on to Rashi le ers and Rashi skills in the last sec on of the workbook. The text is suitable for either boys or girls schools from a mid-Grade One through end of Grade Two levels, for schools where children learn primarily in English (or where Hebrew is the language of instruc on) and where the Chumash curriculum commences with the beginning of Sefer
Bereishis. A185 - $11.00
Many schools teach their Limudei Kodesh
program in Yiddish. This includes the wri en parts of the program. One of the common challenges to teaching in Yiddish is that there are not many materials that actually teach children HOW to read and pronounce in Yiddish. Ler’n Zich Leinen—two volumes—is a perfect solu on for dealing with this challenge. In its simple progression of skills, the books achieve the goals to simplify reading Yiddish . The resource follows a phone c approach and imparts actual rules that are unique to Yiddish. The series is already used successfully in numerous schools; now it can be yours through Torah Umesorah Publica ons. The two books are colorful and clear; they contain 108 and 72 pages respec vely.

Kuntress Kriah Nechonah
Aleph-Bais Friends
By Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov Uhr
by Mrs. S. Szanzer This fresh new resource represents a unique but effecve tool for teaching alephbais to children. Aleph-Bais Friends is a boxed set of 40 water-repellent cards (approx 5” x 7”) each of which imparts the sound of a le er (in some cases, separate cards to teach Ashkenazi and Sepharadi pronuncia ons). This is achieved via a simple process of associa on between le er sounds and iden fiable illustra ons. Each colorful visual corresponds to the shape and sound of the specific le er—this is on the front of each card. Then, visual, auditory and kinesthe c cues are provided for each le er on the back of the card. Included is also a card which is a clear teaching guide. This is a durable and proven-successful resource, which will be welcomed and enjoyed by chilldren, educators and parents alike. Increasingly the world of chinuch is taking no ce of the crucial role that kriah
skills play—not only in the academic development of talmidim, but also in their overall
personal
and
ruchniyusdige growth. For most children, the challenge is minimal and represents a simple part of scholas c maturity. For many, however, it is the beginning of a festering and moun ng problem… unless it is remediated—and the earlier, the be er. Rabbi A.Y. Uhr, of Lakewood, a veteran special ed. remediator, with emphasis on kriah, for years, has developed a tried and proven sy stem ofkriah remedia on, which can be administered in any school and by any designated rebbi/morah. He has noted me and me again the drama c change in the demeanor of children and adolescents once that they have been helped with his “Kriah Nechonah” system—with results o en visible a er a mere few weeks. This is a valuable resource that is appropriate for various venues: the school resource room, the classroom, the home of children that have encountered difficul es in kriah—indeed, any Jewish home would benefit from it. In fact, for certain youths, it would be recommended that they have one of their own. There are two versions of “Kriah Nechonah” - one designed for Litvish pronuncia on, and one for Chassidish pronuncia on. Spiral bound and onesided copying for specific pedagogic reasons, as well as for durability. Instruc ons are in English. (To have a copy of the instrucƟons in Yiddish

Mrs. Elaine Rubinoff

Mrs. Rubinoff, well-known author of The Art of Teaching has created this new resource which includes the adapta on of phonemic awareness to Lashon Hakodesh and Kriah. This new TU Publica on will prove to be an invaluable resource to all mechanchim/os who face the challenge of teaching vital skills to students with impediments.

Limud Hashas
by Rabbi Avrohom Taubus
The study of Gemara is systema c, following specific principles of raonale and logical sequence. Fathoming the system, however, is not a simple thing; and it is o en even harder when trying to teach it to talmidim. According to Rav Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt”l, the Ramchal’s Derech Tevunos ia “a classical tool for teaching the Talmud.” Its new English transla on makes it eminently accessible. This easy-to-follow illustrated presentaƟon in English of the Ramchal’s trea se is almost certain to become a staple in the teaching of Gemara— whether at the level of haschalas Gemara or at the level of more advanced talmidim. The language of instruc on is, as noted, English, with lashon hakodesh cita on throughout. This 8.5 x 11 hardcover text contains 245 pages in black and white and includes a number of haskamos and the original lashon hakodesh text of the DerechTevunos (54 pages). Recommended for rebbeim and maggidei shiurim at any level. M293 $18.00 Ahavas Chessed by the Chofetz

Eight years in the making... Strike on Heaven (DVD)
Tragedy and Rebirth
By TU’s Zechor Yemos Olam Program
Recently over three hundred schools across North America took part in the Zechor Yemos Olam Asara B’Teves Na onal Assembly Program, which featured the latest in our series of documentaries. “Strike on Heaven.” It is a most compelling account of the Third Reich’s a ack on Yiddishkeit as a central part of their war against the Jewish people. The documentary has two versions. The “Yeshiva Edi on” runs 33 minutes, while the “Bais Yaakov Edi on” runs a few minute longer. If your school was unable to take part in the assembly program… and especially if your school has a program of teaching Churban Europa, you will definitely want to have this DVD as a resource. by Rabbi Yoseph Elias (with Yaakov
Astor)
This joint Torah Umesorah / Artscroll endeavor is what many individuals involved in teaching the Holocaust have been wai ng for. The venerable Rabbi Yoseph Elias has compiled a history of Churban Europa as seen through the eyes of a pre-eminent Bais Yaakov Menahel. It is a virtual trea se brimming with divrei musar and hashkafah and the links to Hashgachah PraƟs that the author draws to the events of the Holocaust. Rabbi Elias, the founder of Torah Umesorah’s Zechor Yemos Olam
Division for the study of the Churban, traces Jewish heroism, “Hatzalah” rescue ac vi es, global apathy to the plight of Klal Yisrael during WWII… and the miracles of Jewish survival and rebuilding. This powerful work has the haskamos of several of the world’s most renowned Roshei Yeshivos and is a must read for teachers of the material as well as for every Jewish youth.

A Comprehensive Commentary on Sefer Bamidbar by Rabbi Yonasan Arenias
This is an ideal resource/
text to provide teachers with all they need to teach Sefer Bamidbar in depth or to give a s mula ng parashah shiur. Built on the principle that a student first needs to understand the big picture before studying the details, the book first provides outlines and overviews of each parashah before presen ng a comprehensive commentary of it, explaining exactly what happened and the major approaches of the classic meforshim. The book also discusses chronology and puts special emphasis on understanding the sequence of the parshiyos, explaining how all the subjects in a parashah are linked. It includes detailed tables organizing and summarizing each parashah, in depth sec ons that analyze key topics, copious footnotes and sources, and the complete Chumash text with an excep onally accurate and readable transla on. The sefer has a stunning layout, with hundreds of ques ons and answers lining the margins, and the material is presented in manageable sec ons. Includes haskamos from prominent rabbonim. A sample of Parashas Shelach is available at chinuch.org. 639 pages, hardcover. M888 $30.00 NOW $25.90

L’shon Limudim—Vol. 1
by Rabbi Avigdor Spitzer &
Rabbi Moshe Steinberg
The rebbeim and moros of early Chumash levels will take delight in using this new resource, designed for yeshivos where English is the language of instruc on. The objec- ve of this series—a popular Yid-dish text, translated into English by popular demand—is to teach young learners of Chumash to be selfsufficient in the transla on of the text. Volumes 2 and 3 of the 3-part series are currently in the works and will become available shortly. The recommenda on is either that all three parts be used in the first year of Chumash in-struc on or that vol. 3 be used in the second year. The clarity, userfriendliness and beauty of its graphics make L’shon Limudim a wonderful choice for breeding mastery as well as excitement for learning on the part of young talmidim. Each shoresh is selected with a specific purpose; the worksheets that are included right in the text are mul -varied and interes ng for young children.

Jewish Virtues—Card Sets
by Rabbi Mendel Raskin
Among the best ways to movate talmidim is engaging them through play. Many children already like to trade and collect cards: the color, imagina ve graphics and interes ng text that trading cards can have provide something new for them to learn in every card. In this new Jewish Virtues series, children are presented with important informa on in a way that gets them excited about midos tovos and bein adam lachaveiro. These deligh ully illustrated cards focus on Jewish values and virtues in the context of everyday living. Each card presents a different concept along with a wri en explana ons and de-scrip ve images to facilitate understanding. The series is ideally used as an incen ve program within the classroom: The rebbi/morah controls the release of the cards, and decides on the most effec ve method to award them to students. The idea is to make certain cards harder to earn, thereby crea ng a hype and excitement regarding collec ng the whole set. The aim of the student is to collect a full set of cards. The cards are geared towards talmidim/os between the ages of 8 to 13. All text is wri en in simple English, with the most basic of Hebrew words, making them accessible to stu-dents of a wide range of back-grounds. Sets consist of 40 cards. Some of the illustra on depict girls. Single Set of cards - M895B $7.00

By Nachman Marcuson
Teaching the Hebrew language has never been a simple task. Nachman Marcuson has pro-duced a pair of resources—both wri en al
taharas hakodesh— that vastly help realize the ob-jec ves. These are extremely useful tools for those who want to learn lashon hakodesh and teach it as well as selfsufficiency in reading Tanach . The Guide to Lashon Hakodesh—Mastering Basics is an updated version of what TUP has been carrying for a coupl eof years. The new volume—
Mastering Hebrew Verbs—simplifies the complexi es of the 7 binyanim. The rules of loshon hakodesh are taught in an uncomplicated way. English grammar terms are avoided where possible, as they tend to confuse. When introducing a new rule, the fine details and excep ons to it are not discussed at all (they are taught later on) – allowing students to focus on the rule itself. Each lesson ends with a summary of that lesson and also of everything learned up to that date – allowing for review of all the rules in the book every me one finishes a new lesson. English.

By Rabbi Mendel Balsam
Rabbi Balsam, in conjunction with Yeshivat M873B—Price $27.00 Shaare Torah of Brooklyn, has produced a phenomenal resource, which promises to become a staple in many mosdos across North America. It is well known that the teaching of dikduk is a challenge, especially to rebbeim, many of whom may not have been adequately trained in the basics. It is also well known that the regular use of dikduk is becoming increasingly prominent in schools everywhere, as it cons tutes a vitally important tool for the comprehension of what our talmidim learn. This new resource is especially designed for rebbeim
in boys’ schools (e.g. instruc ons to talmidim are in “lashon zachar”) although it can easily be used with girls as well. It will make rebbeim feel perfectly comfortable with the basic rules of dikduk. Recommended for use in Grades 2-3. (The sequels for higher levels are a work in progress at this me, but this component certainly provides an objec ve in its own right.)

By Rabbi Ephraim Nisenbaum
The 49 days following Pesach represent the countdown to Kabolas HaTorah. They are also the days when it is customary to study Pirkei Avos. Bringing these two things together are the 48 ways in which one can acquire Torah. This topic, known as “Kinyan Torah” is delineated in the sixth perek of Avos. When one adds the customary summa on of the 48 ways at he end, it equals 49. A fascina ng and eminently worthwhile project for your talmidim might be to have them study “Kinyan Torah” on a day-today basis as they prepare for Shavuos. Rabbi Ephraim Nisenbaum has produced an English-language text to make the endeavor both easier and more interes ng. Each of the 48 ways is discussed in its own minichapter and draws on the vast sea of sifrei Mussar to guide the individual in the par cular theme. “49 Steps to Greatness” is suited to being used by a rebbi to teach from and to generate discussion. Or it can be read directly by the talmidim themselves. 185 pages / English/ includes Haskamos and a Glossary

to the Laws of
Shmi ah Rabbi
Shimon Grama
New, updated version for ‫תשע“ה‬
What be er me than the coming year, 5775, to become familiar with the laws of ShmiƩah? ShmiƩah is not only directed to Eretz YIsrael’s farmers: it affects all Jews—in Eretz Yisroel and outside it. Farmers who are shomrei Shviis are called by Chazal “giborei
ko’ach.” What a great opportunity to connect with them by learning the halachos that guide them! A workbook has been published just in me for this year, (as it was for the previous ShmiƩah year of 2007). The Student’s Guide to the Laws of ShmiƩah is organized in eleven separate chapters. The first 9—hashkofos and laws, the last 2 general mitzvos hateluyos ba’aretz. This book also discusses the laws that are applicable to chutz la’aretz. For students of Gr. 4—high school. Full color with beau ful graphics on every page. Schools would do well to include this book in their curriculum. Each lesson is wri en in a concise, accessible way followed by straigh orward review ques ons. When The...Guide first ap-peared 7 years ago, mechanchim at once realized its superb chinuch value. This year, the workbook has been further enhanced. Includes haskamos from Harav Yisroel Belsky shlit’a, and Harav Malkiel Kotler shlit’a. Also recommended for adults and shul youth groups as well.
