Shalom!
We’re excited to introduce you to Hello Haftarah, a unique new learning resource designed especially for b’nai mitzvah students. Hello Haftarah provides easy-to-follow videos featuring talented young scholars performing your child’s parashah, complete with transliterated English or Hebrew subtitles, presented in a familiar karaoke style.
We embrace modern technology and offer kid-friendly functionality to make learning a breeze. Your child can watch these videos as many times as they want, rewind, fast-forward, and learn at their own pace. No need to stress – learning becomes a fun and flexible experience.
Our Videos
We understand that different synagogues and teachers may have specific requirements for the parts your child needs to perform. That’s why we’ve recorded the full b’nai mitzvah library. We have all the seventh Torah portions, all the haftarahs, and all the maftirs. The videos are organized by the b’nai mitzvah date. Parents just type in the date and sign up to access all the videos that go along with their date.
When you purchase the package for your portion, you’ll have access to six videos:
- The seventh Torah portion, with Hebrew and English subtitles
- The haftarah, with Hebrew and English subtitles
- Maftir, with Hebrew and English subtitles
You can use the video that is appropriate for your synagogue. Kids can show the videos to their teachers to make sure they are following the right passage.
Our Commitment to Giving Back
As part of our commitment to giving back and following the mitzvah of tzedakah, part of the fee goes to your child’s synagogue or your preferred charity. If no preference is indicated, the donation goes to Keshet.
We hope you and your child find Hello Haftarah to be an invaluable resource on this meaningful journey to their b’nai mitzvah. Beyond the videos, you’ll find:
- Free video access to the blessing for family and friends
- English summaries of what happens in each parashah, written for kids
- Mitzvah project ideas
- Celebrities that performed your same portion
- Meet the rabbis!
- Budgets and checklists for services and celebrations
- Find a tutor (if you need one)
- … and more!
Thank you for choosing us to be part of this special moment in your lives!
Warm regards,
