Chinuch Today

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Tzivos Hashem was founded by Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe in the fall of 1980 to serve the physical and spiritual needs of Jewish children.

Participants in Tzivos Hashem programs are youngsters under the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah from backgrounds spanning the spectrum of levels of Jewish education and commitment to Jewish affiliation, without regard to social and economic status.

From its headquarters in Brooklyn, Tzivos Hashem spearheads the trend to revive Jewish identity in children and provide them with a Jewish education through informal and entertaining programs, modern cutting edge teaching methods, first-class publications and personal encounters.

Enrollment in Tzivos Hashem and following its program of increasing in Torah study and performance of Mitzvos, prepares today’s children for a seamless transition into Jewish adulthood, ensuring the continuity of time-honored Jewish values and traditions.

Schools may have their own measures and assessments that give some indication of student learning. However, MaDYK's database ensures accurate and reliable information about student's Hebrew reading skills.

​MaDYK is influenced by the extensive research which indicates that a child's ability to read is a significant predictor of overall academic, social, emotional, and behavioral success. The MaDYK team is committed to supporting and advancing children's literacy skills.
