Learn your prayers and torah with your computer
Temple Rodef Shalom uses Kol Kore (a Hebrew Bnai Mitzvah tutoring program) as an added resource to help Bar and Bat Mitzvah students learn the Torah portion, Haftarah, and Hebrew prayers required for the service. The program is now free but you have to sign up through Julie Kaplan in order to get your Torah portion to display on the program.
To order the program, DO NOT ORDER ON THEIR WEBSITE. Instead, please send your request via email to Julie Kaplan and we will configure Kol Kore for your Bar/Bat Mitzvah assigned prayers/Torah/Haftarah with our recordings.
You will then receive an email from Kol Kore with instructions on how to log in and use the program. It is best to use the Firefox or Chrome web browser.
