Lookstein LIVE brings talented and creative Israel-based Judaic studies teachers into Jewish day school classrooms across North America using a web-based video conferencing platform. The program, managed by The Lookstein Center for Jewish Education, provides schools with differentiated options for small group enrichment in Hebrew, Tanakh, and Torah Sh’Be’al Peh/Mishna/Gemara, enabling schools to design a course that will complement and enhance the school’s mission and curriculum. The teachers deepen students’ connection to Israel through taking them into the streets for holiday preparation, news events and shopping expeditions. The program allows students to explore the added benefits of technology in their learning experience while developing a relationship with an Israel-based teacher, strengthened by teacher visits to their North American schools during the year.
