Hope everyone is staying healthy and doing well. An unexpected consequence of the current pandemic is the increasing interest in homeschooling. I’ve been busy speaking to potential homeschoolers – some of whom would not have enterntained the thought a few months ago – and sharing what I’ve learned on my own homeschooling journey. I hosted a Zoom meeting for potential local Jewish homeschoolers and participated in two remote ones.
At Ani VeAmi, we’ve been busy creating and compiling resources for new homeschoolers. IY”H we’ll share some exciting updates soon. Meanwhile, here is a blog post I wrote about homeschooling children with dyslexia.
As we get ready for Shavuos in a world that is slowly opening up, I’d like to wish everyone a meaningful and enjoyable Yom Tov and Shabbos. I hope we can use what we’ve learned in the past couple of months – about the world, about ourselves, and about Hashem – to grow, come closer to Hashem, and receive the Torah anew with a deepened appreciation for it.
