Founded in early 2006, Jewish Education on the World Wide Web was created to utilize 21st century technologies and teaching strategies to supply quality
Judaic and Secular education to Jews all over the world. With over thirty years
of combined teaching experience, Yossie and Batsheva Frankel have been working to develop the curriculum and delivery system to achieve that mission. Finally,
in mid 2007, JeWWW.org was introduced to the web.
JeWWW.org is currently assembling a course catalog of “pre-recorded” and
“live-interactive” classes covering secular subjects such as science and mathematics as well as Judaic studies classes including Chumash and Halacha.
To help students in distant locations that may not have access to quality Bnai Mitzvah instructors, we are preparing instruction on T’Fillah – Prayer,
Kriat HaTorah – Reading from the Torah as well as the
Bar/Bat Mitzvah
Dvar Torah - the Torah Speech. Already, Jewish Adult-Education and Outreach Instructors are taking advantage of our educational platform to offer
“live-interactive” classes from locations such as Jerusalem, Los Angeles and
New York.
JeWWW.org is looking forward to posting more sample classes on our website during the Summer of 2011.
