General Questions About Our Service
| What is the goal of your program? |
Na’aleh aims to provide Jewish individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds an opportunity to watch and learn from stimulating online Torah and Jewish video classes and shiruim, and to share ideas and ideals with others, in order to grow stronger in their service of G-d . |
| How is Naaleh unique and different from other Jewish websites or nonprofits? |
While there are other Jewish websites focused on Jewish education, we feel some of our features and services are unique:
Video, not audio, classes. You will be able to see your teachers, not just hear them. Of course, we also have mp3 files available to download onto your iPod or other mp3 device, as well as video downloads available for iPod video players.
Interact with other students in our interactive, group classes. We are the only Torah education site that facilitates group learning sessions. This means that you're watching the class with peers from all around the world. You can discuss classes and even submit your questions for teachers to answer in the next class!
Viewing anytime. Watch the shiur online anytime after it has been broadcast. Missed a class? Want to watch one again? No problem. Members have 24/7 access to our Torah classes online at our website:www.naaleh.com.
