The reason your kids show up on Sunday — not just because they have to.
SHORESH is a ready-made program for Hebrew schools, religious schools and Jewish communities. It doesn't teach children about Israel — it gives them an Israeli friend named Avivi.
The real problem
One afternoon a week. Kids counting the minutes.
Most of your students come because their parents decided. Two hours on a Sunday morning is not competing with school — it's competing with soccer, screens and sleeping in. The rest of the week they're home, and nothing you built in class travels with them.
The children don't need more material. They need a reason to belong.
A different approach
We don't teach children about Israel.
We give them a friend there.
His name is Avivi. He's a fictional Israeli kid roughly their age, and he shows up in their lives every week — in videos, in songs, in games, and in the letters they write him. He writes back.
- Animated videos where Avivi shares something happening in Israel this week.
- Games and songs — kids pick up Hebrew and Israel in the way they actually pick things up.
- Letters back and forth — the child writes to Avivi. Avivi writes back. The child asks about Jerusalem, the child gets a reply.
- Something for the midweek — the program lives on any screen, so the connection continues between your Sunday sessions.
What the school gets
Everything the program needs to run itself.
Content per child, at their own level
The first-grader who's never seen Hebrew and the sixth-grader who's read Torah both get the right version of the same lesson.
A teacher view
Your teachers see who's engaging, who's stuck, and what came up in the letters this week. No new prep — the material is ready.
A director view
You see, at a glance, which classes are alive and which need attention. No more waiting for parent complaints to know.
English throughout
The child needs zero Hebrew to start. Hebrew shows up gently, always with translation, never as a wall.
A program, not a platform
This is not another LMS you have to fill. It's structured week by week — Rosh Hashanah in September, Sukkot in October, and so on.
It runs itself in the background
Your teachers keep teaching. SHORESH quietly gives your students a reason to look forward to the next Sunday.
