I’m excited to introduce the PrayerTech app to you, which Torah Aura has generously provided at almost no charge for the next few months to help out Hebrew schools across the country. It’s been customized to our school, so when your students log in they will see only the prayers in their class’s curriculum. Morah Lisa will likely make assignments, but the students might enjoy reviewing at their own pace as well.
Read on for detailed instructions on how to download the app and sign up. Everyone’s username is listed below and the password is “kbepray.”
Dear Families,
Welcome to PrayerTech, an innovative tool for studying Jewish prayer. PrayerTech was designed to help students master the recitation of prayers, as well as a way to introduce and reinforce the language elements (vocabulary and roots) to facilitate mastery of Jewish prayer. We have tried to make the process as enjoyable as possible by building fun and entertaining exercises and allowing students the ability to earn game time for one of several real computer games.
