Mesorah
We learn from Kabbalah that the Aleph Bet is not like other alphabets.
Each letter has depth and meaning of its own and learning the letters themselves are the goal since each letter is so holy.
Because the Aleph bet is so holy, we have a specific guide for how to teach it. Following this method illuminates the child’s soul and imbues a sensitivity to spirituality.
We are proud to have developed a complete Hebrew reading program that follows the method that is set out by our Sages.
Karate Inspiration
What do Karate and Hebrew Reading have in common you ask?
Karate is a traditional art that is divided into ten colored levels. Moving up a level is a proof of hard work and determination and is therefore a source of pride.
Aleph Champ takes inspiration from Karate and divides Hebrew reading skills into 10 colored levels. There are fun games and activities to help the students meet their goals. Moving up a level is Aleph Champ is a source of pride for students and this makes them self motivated to succeed. Self motivated studnets is a quality that is unique to the Aleph Champ Hebrew Reading program.
