Naaleh.com’s Practical Judaism Courses Are Reaching Audiences Of All Backgrounds

Practical Judaism by Rabbi Ari Jacobson

Practical Judaism is geared to people who want to learn the fundamentals of Jewish faith and practice. This course, based on the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, the Abreviated Code of Jewish Law by Rabbi Shlomo Gantzfried, (ca.1886), focuses on the concrete application of Jewish Law. Some of the topics covered include how to pray, keep kosher, and observe Shabbos. The course does not assume any prior knowledge of Judaism or Torah concepts, and can be enjoyed by both beginners and advanced students.

Students have been enjoying this class since the very beginning. Here is what one student wrote in about the very first class,  The Right Start to Your Day :

‘Rabbi Jacobson’s class No.1, Basic Judaism is very well communicated. Thank you for relaying this important information! I recommend his course most highly!’  -Jule Bevell

Other class topics include:

Washing Hands upon Awakening

Covering One’s Head

Proper Prayer

The Halachot of Shema

Preparing for the Amida

There are already over 20 classes in this series so students can begin learning right away and go at their own pace.

Naaleh.com is Helping its Students Prepare for Rosh Hashana

I love listening to your shiurim because you have the best volume quality of any the Torah websites I use. Thank you for making the Torah heard so clearly! Shkoyach!

I am a proud member of Naaleh. Your site is absolutely fabulous! You have a tremendous zechus in spreading Torah throughout the world. As a kollel wife and mother who misses the inspiration and learning of her seminary days, Naaleh enriches my life immeasurably. I listen to the shiurim (I especially love Rebbetzin Heller!) while I cook, bake, and clean. The shiurim help keep me spiritually aware and encourage me to continue growing. Thank you, thank you, and thank you for your wonderful work, and I hope to do my part in helping out by giving a donation before Rosh Hashanah.

High School Girls Giving Up Recess to Watch Naaleh Classes!

To the wonderful Naaleh team!! I teach in a modern-orthodox girls High School and I use your website to help me prepare. On tisha b’Av we had school (its winter here) and we listened to Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller and Rabbi Hanoch Teller. The girls were so inspired they have requested to come once a week DURING RECESS to listen to Naaleh classes. Yasher Koach to all of you!!

Raving Reviews for ‘Chassidut on the Parsha’

Rabbi Hershel Reichman’s popular ‘Chassidut on the Parsha‘ is a favorite of many Naaleh.com students. In this course, the relevant lessons of the Torah portion of the week are explored, based on the Sefer Shem MiShmuel. An inspirational eye-opener for both veteran admirers of Chassidic thought and newcomers to this way of serving G-d.

Here is what two students of this class, Abraham and Silene Sarah Bohadana  from France, are saying:

‘Rabbi Hershel Reichman’s class Dwelling of G-d: Shilo vs. Jerusalem was one of most inspiring classes in Judaism we’ve ever had. It filled our hearts with joy and love for our Torah. Thank you very much.’

‘Thank You So Much for Giving So Much’

I listened to several shiurim on and before tisha b’av, and I just read Torat Imecha now. The shiurim on the three weeks are absolutely beautiful.  I especially enjoy Rebbetzin Heller, Rabbi Segal, and Mrs. Smiles. Thank you so much for giving so much.

More Praise for Our Online Torah Classes

I think Naaleh is doing a great service. I download anything I can get from Rebbetzin Heller and I am truly appreciative for the web site. Thank You.

-Naz Aziz  Great Neck, NY

I think this was the very first class I heard on Naaleh (Megillat Eisha Class 1 with Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller). It was fantastic. I enjoyed going through the Perek word by word and getting the thorough explanations, both from the Gemarrah and personal examples. The sound was perfect. After hearing this class, I will certainly want to hear others. I usually listen to the old-fashioned cassettes but that cannot be compared to seeing the speakers as they actually give the shiur. Maybe one day I’ll get a MP3 and I can hear it again and again whereever I am. Thank you so much, and may you be able to continue to put out more classes to the growing audience.

-Shoshana H. Los Angeles, CA

I think that the 200+ class I have viewed this year speaks to how
important and wonderful what your team does…I’m Ba’al Teshuvah 2
years and you allowed me to fast track my learning……

Thank you so much! I have just been introduced to your website. I am extremely impressed and grateful. I am a former Bais Yakov student and now a grandmother and your classes are just what I was missing! Yehi ratzon shetizku laalot ulehaalot!

- K.K.  Brooklyn, NY

I just bought Rebbitzen Heller’s and Sara Rigler’s new book, Battle Plans, and settled down to read it when there in the first chapter it mentioned naaleh.com.  So I finished the chapter and went straight to the computer to check it out.  I am thrilled to see what you have done.  It is exactly the type of site I have been yearning for but couldn’t find.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

More Satisfied Naaleh.com Users

I wanted first to say that I really enjoy learning so much from Naaleh, and I think it’s absolutely amazing that you have such incredible shiurim with such unbelievable teachers.

-Tzipora Leah Shapiro  Cedarhurst, NY

I wish to thank you for this extraordinary achievement. It was only after I started studying towards a B. of Commerce that I realized how ignorant I was in regards to Jewish studies. (In case you were wondering…I am a chasidic, frum woman). Naaleh can definitely address this void and I really enjoyed the classes I attended/watched.

The Positive Feedback Keeps Coming for Naaleh.com!

Thank you for all that you do! Though time is always an issue, your teachings do much to increase understanding. Shalom!

- C.F.

Just want to thank you for the amazing opportunity for learning that your website provides.  I feel as if I have been waiting my whole life for the opportunity to plug into a shiur whenever I have some downtime.  Right now, I am enjoying Rebbetzin Heller’s shiur on Daniel. With much appreciation,

I would like to express my thanks to Naaleh for providing the public with such outstanding shiurim.  You are granting the community a tremendous opportunity when you expose us to the likes of such powerful, creative, articulate talmidei chachamim as Rabbis David, Ginsburg, and Isaacson, among others. And the opportunity to hear Rebbetzin Heller’s thoughts on the very real issues that face women today is priceless. Kol hakavod for all your efforts.  They are not in vain.  You have created learning opportunities for those of us who would otherwise have no access to these exceptional Torah personalities. Wishing you continued success.
