Nitzotzot Min HaNer

Volume #11, April 2003

In this month's edition of the Nitzotzot we are bringing you a list of useful resources. We have put together a listing of some organizations that can be of direct help in providing kiruv resources such as seminars, materials, etc. as well as lists of publishers, tape libraries, etc.  
	The list is by no means exhaustive and we certainly did not intend any evaluative innuendoes by the selection of those we included and excluded.  In general, we restricted our list to resources located in the USA or serving the USA. In addition, the organizations we did mention were described with an emphasis to their utility value to other organizations rather than a comprehensive description of their activities.  
	There are many local organizations which have programs and other things of value to contribute. Generally, these were left out. As well, we left out many organizations whose primary expression or value to other organizations is as a web site as we are planning an edition specializing on that. 
 We were certainly not able to include all resources here, nor even make an appropriate prioritization. We apologize for all the omissions. If you were left out, please understand and, in case we were not aware of you, please do tell us about you what you have to offer. We will attempt to include some of this information in a subsequent edition.

SEED (not to be confused with SEED of Torah U’Mesorah in the USA) has many materials that are used on their seminars. They have also developed many different, innovative programs for use in schools, communities and general outreach situations. Although they did not develop these materials to be packaged and marketable, they have proven to be most generous and helpful to all those who have turned to them.

30.	TORAH U'MESORAH

Phone:	212-227-1000

Director:	Rabbi Yehoshua Fishman	

Many aspects of Torah U'Mesorah projects, such as Aish Dos or the Creative Learning Pavilion relate to schools rather than outreach organizations in a classical sense. Even though many of these schools are outreach organizations in their own right, we have chosen, for reasons of brevity, not to relate to those aspects of the organization here. Worthy of mention though is e-chinuch.org, a web site which allows you to search for a lesson plan and back up materials according to topic and age. A similar, although less extensive site in Russian is istok.ru.

The following list of training programs is incomplete. We have not mentioned the specific Chinuch programs such as the Aish Dos and the Merkaz programs, nor the specific Rabbinic Training programs, such as the YU Semicha Program. Other programs, such as Maor may have been left out, as well as those programs which seem to serve a specific constituency or institution, such as the Aish HaTorah Semicha Program and various Chabad programs. For ideas in training laymen to do kiruv contact Rabbi Yitzchak Shwartz at yschwartz@orchos.org.il who has run a successful pilot program in Passaic or be in touch with the JLE (Ohr Somayach) in England, who have been running a successful, two year men’s and women’s program for volunteers.
