  118: How Jewish Educators Can Make Learning Feel Real with Rabbi Noach Muroff

  Jul 7, 202636 minS5

  Rabbi Noach Muroff was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. He studied in Yeshivas Bais Yisroel in Yerushalayim for six years. While in Israel, he received his semicha from Rav Zalman Nechemia Goldberg. He then earned a Masters of Education in Administration and Supervision from Loyola University in Chicago and completed the Ohr LaGolah Teacher Training Program. During a six-year tenure as a high school Rebbe in Connecticut, Rabbi Muroff made international headlines for returning $98,000 that he found in a secondhand desk. He started at Torah Day School in 2017 as the 8th Grade Rebbe and joined the administration in 2019, now serving as the Boys' Principal. Rabbi Muroff is passionate about educating the next generation to lead their lives with Torah, middos tovos, and Kiddush Shem Shamayim. Gems: To be an effective teacher there are two parts: you have to master and be comfortable with the material that you’re teaching, and you must be able to effectively give over that material. It’s important to have the basic skills of classroom management, etc. Allow yourself time to grow in your role. Make the material relatable, it makes all the difference. Make sure our students feel that they’re loved, cared for, and that you want them to succeed. Technology is one of the biggest challenges we’re facing today that makes teaching harder. There’s nothing a teacher or Rebbe can do to compete with the fast-paced technology. Find ways to teach in an engaging and exciting way. Talk about different scenarios that come up in our daily lives. You can’t force it. Educate the parents and make sure they fully understand the dangers of technology. Too much exposure to videos on the internet sets up our children for a harder time learning. If children are not bought into the decision, they will find a way around it. Help them understand and appreciate the benefits of living a Torah lifestyle. Teach them how to use technology responsibly. Gather other parents to sign an agreement to not allow cell phones for the children. Parents need to be the parent and stand their ground on important issues. Make sure students can read well. We need to constantly adapt to reach our students. You have the opportunity to make a real impact and change people for the rest of their lives. Usually it’s the way that a student is taught is what they remember. Book: Wisdom of Jewish Educators Featuring 100 of the most notable tips from educators who were featured on the podcast.

  117: How Relationship First Teaching Keeps Kids Connected To Torah with Rabbi Ezra Elstein

  Jun 8, 202638 minS5

  Rabbi Ezra Elstein grew up in Philadelphia, went through the local Jewish day school system, and somewhere along the way lost his connection to Torah. It wasn't anyone's fault — it just wasn't the right fit. Years later, learning in Eretz Yisroel through open conversation and genuine curiosity, he rediscovered what Jewish learning could feel like. That experience changed everything. When he and his wife started raising their own children, they dreamed of a school where Torah felt alive and personal — where every child felt seen. So they built one. With guidance from Rav Shalom Kamenetsky, TIDE began in their basement with four kids. Today it's a thriving school at Keneseth Israel serving boys in grades 1–8. With over 15 years in education, Rabbi Elstein leads TIDE around one simple belief: every child deserves to discover that learning Torah can be joyful and meaningful. Gems: Work on solving problems, don’t ignore them. Avoid/limit screens. Be with our children every step of the way. Hashem gave us our children because we’re the right people to help this particular child grow to be who they need to be. Help your child along their path. Trust that we’ve raised our children properly. Our generation needs more training in life skills than previous generations. It’s not about providing a certain template or format but finding the child’s path that he can grow up with. Find out what the deeper thing is that they’re struggling with. Build the relationship with the child first, before beginning curriculum. Think long term.

  116: Developing Independent Thinkers with Rabbi Yehuda Winder

  May 27, 202646 minS5

  Rabbi Yehuda Winder, previously a Rebbi at the Bais Medrash Chofetz Chaim in Israel, returned to America and found himself presented with an opportunity at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe: a position as a first-grade Rebbi. He learned that the curriculum being used was one in which students memorized phrases and repeated what their Rebbe said. He believed that there must be a different way, one that focused on fostering skills and comprehension regarding the origins of words, and this is how Lshon Hatorah was born. Rabbi Winder’s method invovled students learning the “shoresh” or root of a word separately and then understand how prefixes and suffixes could modify its meaning. Each of the words came directly from the Torah which provided students with a solid foundation of language skills. Gradually, students progressed with learning Hebrew more easily through each grade level. Rabbi Winder’s method has become standard in many Jewish schools. The primary objective of the Lshon Hatorah series is to empower students with the proficiency needed to translate Hebrew text with precision and ease. Gems: Give students the ability to learn by themselves. Develop independent learners. Help students figure out what the words in Hebrew mean. The basic skills children learn will carry them throughout their lives. Encourage students to figure things out by giving them the tools they’ll need and as a result, they’ll want to learn more. Teach as much as you can through song. Wellnesse Natural Personal Care Products Wellnesse was founded by a mom who wanted healthier options for families. Check out my unique link!
