This year’s Government Funding for Educational Materials ends in two weeks. The  NYSSL and NYSTL funding if not used does not roll over into the coming year. It’s lost money… lost funding and a lost opportunity to provide the students of our Day Schools, Yeshivas and Institutions of Higher Learning, with BOE FUNDED quality educational materials.

In many cases the materials funded are very costly and beyond the reach of the Institution. These funded items, schools want and need – students and faculty benefit from.

Principals and School Administrators realize the importance of this opportunity. In fact Torah Umesorah is sending out emails to ensure schools are aware of this funding and encourage them to take advantage before this year’s funding ends. To speak directly with your Yeshiva BOE Rep Call 845-364-7301

Make sure your school is not left out – you can help by  clicking hereand sending the email with your School’s contact info to help speed the process.

What’s at stake… There are over 100 Jewish educational software applications that were approved for funding by the BOE. They range from  ArtScroll Alef Bais softwarewhich helps children master the Alef Bais, to applications which teach  Kriahfor the Reading challenged.

There are programs that help students build their  Hebrewand  Gemaravocabulary. There are special applications for teaching  Jewish History– in fact,  Rabbi Wein’s Jewish History Seriesis funded. Rabbi Wein’s History Lecture Archive costs around $1000 and the BOE funds it 100%.

I don’t have to say this, but Rabbi Wein’s contribution to the understanding of Jewish History from a Torah perspective is legendary, and it’s an essential resource for teachers. Most Schools would like this in their School Library – now it’s 100% funded – but schools need to ask – and  TESis here to help you.

Not to mention the  many toolsthat help Teachers prepare class materials, handouts and tests. There is even an application that will automatically add  Nikudto a document and even spell check in Yiddish. These tools save many hours of laborious typing… There is also  SmartBell– every school needs this Security Management Tool. All these plus more are funded for the Schools that ask for it – but you have to do it before this year’s funding ends, which is March 23, 2016 – don’t wait for the last day.

This year is the first year  Bar Ilan University’s famous Judaic Librarywith their amazing Search Technology is approved for funding – as well as  Otzar HaHochma Mega Librarywith 64,000 Seforim. Imagine having all that in your School Library – any Sefer your teachers or students need, they’ll have.

Special Message to Parents: If you have a child that could benefit from any of these  educational tools  click here and tell me the age of the child and what Subject they need to master or enrich. Our School Software Counselors will get back to you and recommend the software most appropriate for your child.
