I felt so guilty as a parent stopping cheda. We are new to the country, and it’s been soooo hard adjusting especially the Jewish community aspect. We’ve felt so disconnected, but Jigzi somehow landed up in my Google “cry” for help and here we are🙂.

I’m a subscriber and I have already used this platform more than 5 times since Friday, since Fast Track Hebrew Reading was released. It’s fabulous!

As a zoom educator I would be lost without Jigzi. My students, who range in age from 8 to 80, love the platform.

I just wanted to let you know how amazing Jigzi is. I’ve created a few games since our session, the children are enjoying it so much, today they asked to skip break time and continue playing. Thank you – it’s really great.

I love your videos. I teach Kindergarten and each week, as we introduce our new ot hashavuah, we start by playing your video on the SmartBoard in our classroom. The students love them and sing along at the end. Finally, there’s something I can play after the English letter of the week videos!!! Thank you!

I love the new Ji Alef Bet games. They are an excellent tool for students just starting to be exposed to Hebrew!

Ji Tap’s Alef Bet series is inimitable, creative and innovative. Embedding the series into my lessons has added a whole new dimension to teaching the Alef Bet letters. The series brings a host of fresh vibrant Alef Bet characters who all come alive to tell stories which captivate the imagination, spark motivation and inspire children to love learning each letter. Jewish Interactive understands that children learn when they love what they are learning. The Alef Bet series has certainly hit the mark in this respect. Every child I have taught has loved this series. I would strongly recommend it as an excellent companion to teaching the Alef Bet letters.

Ji Tap was particularly successful in class when I used the Alef Bet programme Stage 1 with Reception. It has certainly helped to improve Hebrew reading at an earlier age since the children were very excited to see how Alef needed medicine from the doctor to help him to speak! Our Reception pupils learned their vowels much quicker this year and began blending with much more ease, whilst enjoying completing the activities on a weekly basis at home. It is my intention to now use Stage 2 with Year 1.

We use Shabbat Interactive with our third-grade students each year when we begin our Shabbat Unit. This program is a wonderful addition to our curriculum because it is engaging and interactive. After we complete each module as a group, we brainstorm ideas, and students write thoughtful reflections about what they learned. At home, students can view the modules again with parents and siblings.

Kitot Bet & Gimmel learned about the history, customs and traditions of Shabbat from Shabbat Interactive. The students played games, listened to prayers, read the Ten Commandments, reviewed the creation story and created their own games. What a great way to learn about Shabbat!

I am very impressed with the richness, breadth and variety of all the resources. Kol Hakavod to you!

This is Goldie Grant from Bury and Whitefield Jewish primary school. I just wanted to let you know that I used Shabbos Interactive with my year 3 class and they absolutely loved it. As well as producing their own summaries of the six days of creation they also learnt new bits of information. Many thanks again for a wonderful and interactive resource which enhances and enlivens Jewish studies.

Teachers in our staff who have started using Ji Tap in the classroom love the creation and sharing capabilities with other educators teaching similar topics and age groups. Having the ability to search for and download games and activities in addition to creating your own and sharing it in the platform is a great crowd-sourcing opportunity. Using the rich creation packs as well as interactive layers helps enhance the learning experience for students by bringing the material to life.

Students can express their creativity in the Judaic Studies class through interactive game and activity creation. Sharing their work on the Ji Platform and making it available for other students to access provides an opportunity to develop global collaboration skills.

We just had a mind-blowing session with Sammy who flew in to Stockholm, Sweden to show us what possibilities we have to teach Jewish studies in Swedish using Ji Tap. I’m very excited and now I want to try it with my pupils and find out how much they can teach me. Thanks. Samuel Adler

Es mi deseo felicitar a todo el equipo de Ji Tap. Para mis hijos, Ruth de 9 años y Yossie de 8, ha sido una bendición estudiar con Ji Tap. Gracias a ustedes han logrado regresar a aprender con entusiasmo y con toda la disposición. Mis dos hijos no  han podido asistir a la escuela los últimos cuatro años,  porque desafortunadamente presenciaron  un secuestro en el que yo fui víctima. Ellos vieron todo el actuar violento de los secuestradores y también fueron agredidos y lastimados, después vivieron mi ausencia de 10 días que estuve secuestrada y al regresar, fui hospitalizada por tres meses, en grave peligro de muerte. Por estas dolorosas vivencias ambos padecen estrés postraumático y han estado en terapia psicológica y psiquiátrica. Desde esa fecha, su capacidad de estudio, atención y concentración  era nula. Cada año que pasaba, yo intentaba de diversas maneras despertar en ellos el interés por aprender, incluso visitaron varios colegios, sin lograr nada. Por fortuna, al inicio de este año, sin buscar en internet, así por casualidad, encontré Ji Tap. En ese momento  lo mostré a mis hijos, su reacción fue inmediata. Desde eses día, todas las mañanas se despiertan muy temprano, desayunan y están muy ansiosos por iniciar sus clases. Han aprendido muy rápido, el alef bet y los colores en solo 4 días y ya comienzan a leer y escribir sus primeras palabras en hebreo. Quiero destacar que mi hijo Yossie, no ha logrado aprender a leer y escribir en español, por más intentos que se han hecho estos años. Pero su interés y amor por el Hebreo ha sido sorprendente y en tan solo cuatro días ya comienza a leer y escribir ya ha aprendido todo el alef bet incluido el trazo de las consonantes. Mi hija Ruth me ha sorprendido con su capacidad de aprendizaje con Ji Tap, lo recuerda todo!!! Y aprende en una sola lección y su pronunciación es excelente.

Ellos están felices, es la primera vez que los veo tan alegres y dispuestos a aprender. Por todo esto, gracias infinitas a todo el equipo de Ji Tap. Y quiero comentarles, que mis hijos gracias a ustedes están aprendiendo Hebreo e inglés al mismo tiempo. En el caso de mis día hijos, ustedes no solo están enseñando a dos niños, también están salvando sus almas. La mejor terapia para mis hijos, ha sido el apego a una vida totalmente judía, de oración,de respeto a las tradiciones,  de aferrarse a su pueblo y a la bendición y justicia de D’s. Y ahora lo reafirmo, ellos han logrado la rehabilitación educativa Gracias a un programa judio: Ji Tap. D’s los bebdiga.

En un correo anexo les envío fotos y videos mismos que pueden usar para dar a conocer la efectividad del programa Ji Tap.

It is my wish to congratulate the whole team Ji Tap. For my children, Ruth Yossie 9 years and 8, has been a blessing study with Ji Tap. Thanks to you have managed to return to learn with enthusiasm and with the entire arrangement. My two children were unable to attend school the last four years, because unfortunately witnessed a kidnapping in which I was a victim. They saw all the violent act of the kidnappers and were assaulted and injured, lived my absence after 10 days I was kidnapped and back, I was hospitalized for three months in serious danger of death. For these painful experiences both they are suffering from post-traumatic stress and have been in psychological and psychiatric therapy. Since then, their ability to study, attention and concentration was zero. With each passing year, I tried in various ways to awaken in them the desire to learn, even visited several schools, accomplishing nothing. Fortunately, at the beginning of this year, without looking on the Internet, by chance, I found Ji Tap. At that time I showed it to my children, his reaction was immediate. From esses day, every morning wake up early, eat breakfast and are very eager to start their classes. They learned very fast, the alef bet and colors in only 4 days and are beginning to read and write their first words in Hebrew. I want to emphasize that my son Yossie, has failed to learn to read and write in Spanish, even attempts have been made over the years. But his interest and love for the Hebrew has been amazing and just four days and begins to read and write have learned all the alef bet including stroke consonants. Ruth My daughter surprised me with their ability to learn with Ji Tap, remembers everything !!! And learn in one lesson and pronunciation is excellent.

They are happy, it is the first time I see them so happy and willing to learn. For all this, infinite whole team of Ji Tap thank you. And I want to tell you, my children because you are learning Hebrew and English simultaneously. For my day children, you are not only teaching two children, are also saving their souls. The best therapy for my children, has been clinging to a fully Jewish life, prayer, respect for traditions, clinging to his people and the blessing and justice. And now I reaffirm what they have achieved educational rehabilitation program Thanks to Ji Tap.

Ji Studio changed the world of educational technology for Judaic studies teachers. My students love creating posters and books using the app. As a teacher I love the way the students are always engaged, absorbed and involved in the assignments and activities given using Ji Studio. They really have a strong personal feeling toward their work and tremendous pride in what they create!

Yesterday, I tried the Ji Studio Tu B’Shevat collection with our iPads. It was amazing! The kids were super-engaged. Thank you for all of your efforts and all the work that you put into to make an amazing program that I could use in my classroom. I hope to be able to use more of your apps in the future.

It gives me great pleasure to give you feedback on The Ji Studio product which I have been using in my class. I was privileged to be trained by Corinne Ossendryver on how to use the interactive material in class. The support and creative ways that she gave me have been tremendous. I use Ji Studio a pre assessment when introducing a new Chag or theme, the graphics are superb and contribute to my class. Once I have covered my theme , the children love to create their own storybooks using the Ji Studio.

Ji Studio is child friendly and easy to navigate, and the support from the team is on hands.

This is a great app which encourages pupils to use higher-order thinking in order to create projects showcasing their Kodesh knowledge and understanding on various topics. Allowing for the first time, teachers in Jewish Studies classrooms to make use of revolutionary educational resources in their classrooms without sacrificing key skills such as; pupils writing in Hebrew. The vast collections of Jewish themed photos, back grounds and colouring pages ensures this app meets the unique needs of the Kodesh Classroom. This is a great way for Jewish Studies teachers to bring ICT into their classrooms in an engaging and exciting way. I strongly recommend this app!

Our grade 6 at Herzlia Constantia interacted with the grade R learners and played the Mitzvah Hunt on our iPads. The kids had so much fun! Both old and young.

I absolutely love your apps! Finally some Jewish apps with real Jewish content. Kol HaKavod! I especially like in the My Menorah app the brachot sing along, Hanerot Hallalu and Maoz Tzur.

Ji Calendar is fascinating with its interactivity. I’m learning myself. How much more so the children!

I used the JI Sukkot Challenge to teach about Sukkot to my 3rd and 4th grade Special Ed Boys in Manhattan Day School. The boys loved ‘playing’ on the app (on my smartboard) – and learnt so much from it. Including the sources for ‘living’ in a sukka, the source for the arbah minim, the ushpizin, the dates of Sukkot and even the idea of a ‘tefach’ being a ‘hand breath’. They particularly enjoyed shopping for and assembling the sukka – and seeing the 3D view of it.

My students loved Sukkah Challenge and it was very well received.
