Very well said

Tzivos Hashem used to have a program called Jewish Kids got Talent. Run by Rabbi Yerachmiel Bemjaminson executive director of Tzivos Hashem.

I wish my children’s school would offer this. Chidon is such an amazing idea and project but from our personal experience it has become a “thing” to do out of peer pressure and it is setting some kids up for failure.

Yes, the Chidon is hard, it takes discipline and a lot of work, but it’s certainly doable and I enjoyed the learning. I think creating a watered-down program is wrong because it encourages laziness and not striving for excellence. Yogati umotzosi taamin…

For your vision , expertise and talent …….
And for thinking about the individual student !
May this trailblazing endeavor bear beautiful
fruit for everyone …
This is truly a taste and a preparation for the Geula ….
about which the Rambam says :
ובאותו הזמן……
לא קנאה ולא תחרות
“At that time…..There will be no jealousy or competition “

Excellent idea

I love the idea of including every child!!!
Thanks for thinking about the average and not so average child! They are all children of Hashem and should be proud to learn Sefer Hamitzvos!!!!!
