Nachum Segal welcomed Rabbanit Sally Mayer, Rosh Midrasha of Midreshet Lindenbaum‘s Maria and Joel Finkle Overseas Program, to “JM in the AM” this morning to share the latest development: a unique “virtual” summer program specially developed to offer 10th and 11th grade girls around the world a “taste of Torat Eretz Yisrael”.
“We actually thought about doing this after having had to move to an online format to complete this academic year, due to COVID-19,” revealed Rabbanit Mayer. “We learned how to teach Torah via zoom, but not just to teach Torah. We had chevrutot in breakout rooms, we took our students on virtual tiyulim, we had opportunities for group bonding, and we thought it would be a great opportunity for high school students who are now seeking something meaningful to do as school ends.”
