Be sure to register for the Torah Home Education Conference if you are even a little interested. It’s a one of a kind opportunity! Oh, and did I mention that I’m speaking?
***Here‘s the info:
The 4th Annual Torah Home Education Conference will be held in the Baltimore area on Sunday, May 6 and the schedule is packed with great speakers and topics that are sure to give every current or prospective homeschooler something to take home and actualize!
This is the only conference geared to Orthodox homeschoolers in the entire world – yes, literally! Every year, people have traveled from all over the US and even Canada to participate and the consensus was that it was worth every penny and hour away from home. Don’t think that you’re a four hour drive away and it’s not worth your time. You just won’t have anywhere else to access this wide of a group of Torah home educators any other day in the year, anywhere.
Here is the schedule for the conference:
- Bright Beginnings, The Joy of Learning with Little Ones (Jennifer MacLeod)
- Homeschooling the Middle Years, Bar Mitzvah, Bas Mitzvah & Beyond (Shoshana Zohari)
- Integrating Kodesh and Chol, 2 Sides of the Same Coin (Deborah Beck)
- Different Perspectives on Bringing Technology into Our Home (Rivkah Harper)
- Facilitated Discussion Regarding the Relationship Between Homeschoolers & the Community (Max Masinter)
- The Role of Memory in Learning (Gila Haor, Special Educator)
- Raising Independent Learners (Evelyn Krieger, author of One is Not a Lonely Number)
- Managing it All: How do I Teach, do Housework, Get Ready for YomTov – With a Smile? (Dr. Jennifer Green)
Mrs. Gila Haor, a special educator, will be available for consultation throughout the day of the conference. If you’re interested in
reserving a slot, be in touch with her at Gila.Haor@gmail.com.

Just want to thank you for speaking at the conference and mentioning your blog, I love it. There was one thing I think you said- the mashel about big rocks and little stones- and although it sounds obvious it was a revelation to me. I NEED to learn some Torah every day for me to feel like a person but it usually doesn’t happen, and when you said that mashel it was like “bingo”, I just have to make it happen and let all the other little things fall into place around it.

Speaking was fun! I’m glad to hear that it was helpful, too. Things are a little crazy here with our international move, but I’m happy we decided to make the conference one of our “big rocks.”
Thanks for the feedback – I love to hear it!
