Being Torah brings students into Torah by inviting them to become biblical commentators. The book works with words. Based on a real translation of the biblical text that was crafted specifically for 3rd to 5th graders, students are drawn into the words of Torah. Using colored clues, they focus on the number of times given words are used in a story, the changes between what one person says and what another person says that first said, and into the parallel words that link one story to another. This is not a book about Torah. It is actual Torah study made accessible and age appropriate. We took the original book and made it more beautiful and easier to teach. Take a look. Take another look.Also available:Journeys Through the Siddur: Torah and Concluding Service - ISBN 1891662449Middot: A Stairway of Virtues - ISBN 1891662716Torah Aura Productions publishes books for Jewish schools and families that help celebrate our heritage and our faith.We have over 25 years of experience as the leading creator of high quality educational materials that enable Jewish children to become empowered Jewish adults.Our books guide and enhance the Jewish knowledge, spirituality and identity of children and their families, and our innovative tools bring Judaism alive in synagogues, Hebrew schools, and day schools.Torah Aura Productions was founded in 1981 by a group of innovative Jewish educators who looked out at the field of Jewish education and found materials that were shallow and dull.

A Guided Exploration of the Mitzvot Found in the Weekly Torah Portion. To meet the needs of bar and bat mitzvah students, we developed Zot ha-Torah. Students (1) study one or two verses of each (54 included) weekly Torah portion in Hebrew, (2) read verses without vowels in Torah script, (3) study some aspects of the meaning of those verses, and finally (4) learn from them a relevant and do-able mitzvah. This is a Torah study geared directly to teachable opportunities found in the bar and bat mitzvah year.Also available: Mah La'asot: What Should I Do?: A Book of Ethical Problems & Jewish Responses - ISBN 0933873697 Twenty Things for Grandparents of Interfaith Grandchildren to Do (And Not Do) to Nurture Jewish Identity in Their Grandchildren - ISBN 1891662899
