Why Hello Haftarah?

Learning their b’nai mitzvah portions can be a challenging task for many kids, and Hello Haftarah is here to make things better.

Hello Haftarah is designed to help relieve stress and anxiety. The b’nai mitzvah is a significant milestone in a child’s life, and with it comes pressure and high expectations from family, friends, and the community. This added pressure can make the learning process more challenging due to anxiety and fear of making mistakes during the ceremony.

Hello Haftarah helps kids learn their parashah more quickly. Some b’nai mitzvah portions can be quite lengthy, which can be overwhelming for a young learner, especially under a deadline. Kids must balance their regular schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and social life with the intense preparation required for this important event. Finding enough time to dedicate to b’nai mitzvah studies can be tough.

Using Hello Haftarah gives your child more scheduling flexibility. They can choose when and where they study their video, making it easier to balance their time, their mood, their personal needs and the needs of the family.

Hello Haftarah helps distracted kids stay engaged. Sometimes, kids may not have a personal connection to or interest in the religious texts they are required to learn. When the subject matter doesn’t resonate with them, it can be more challenging to stay motivated and engaged. In today’s digital age, distractions from electronic devices and social media can divert a child’s attention away from their studies, making it harder to focus on the material. Our lessons are relatable, are easy to follow and can be watched on any device at any time.

Hello Haftarah uses familiar karaoke-style subtitles to ease language difficulties. The Torah and haftarah portions contain ancient Hebrew text that can be linguistically complex and unfamiliar to most kids. These texts often require them to learn new vocabulary, grammatical structures, and pronunciation.

Hello Haftarah allows for a personalized learning experience. Kids can work at their own pace, rewinding and replaying passages as many times as they like. They’re able to focus on areas where they need more time and move quickly through material they grasp easily.

Hello Haftarah shows videos and audio that are visually pleasing and easy to follow. Our videos make learning less daunting by aligning with the tech kids are used to using every day.

Hello Haftarah lets them learn at home, in their room, in their PJs or however they feel comfortable.
