Tefilla is a very important part of the day; it sets the tone for a child for the rest of their day. At Gesher Yehuda I introduce parts of the tefillot according to their level and keep adding parts of the tefillah as the year goes by. My goal is for a child to walk into a shul and feel more confident in their skills. My focus has been to say the prayers out loud together while giving each child an opportunity to be a hazzan and boost their confidence and self-esteem. In order to give the students the best experience possible, I motivate them with daily points, weekly prizes and Rosh Chodesh treats. We have a special classroom designated for prayers which has siddurim, tehillim and a sefer torah.
At Gesher Yehuda Yeshiva, we work with children with learning differences — bright children who struggle in a mainstream setting. We offer small, structured learning environments designed to meet individual needs. We are an academic program with highly trained special education teachers and therapists. Since 1994, our alumni have gone on to college, careers, and successful lives. All students deserve the education that best fits their needs.
