“Mivtza Tefilaseinu” was relaunched for second month. A curriculum especially curated and published for this summer here in CGI. Each week the campers study one portion of davening, learning the meaning of each word, the history behind the paragraph and the order of its placement in davening. Each week a test is administered, and kids are rewarded for their hard efforts.
