Twinning Schools

Moderators: Zvi Halbrecht, Dan Tcherbis

The first online twinning umbrella in the Jewish world, the project is funded by the Jewish Family Heritage Institute, with Zvi Halbrecht as Communications Advisor. Alberto Gluzman, Executive Secretary of the Institute, is in charge of the schools participating in the Project.

Schools work together on Jewish enrichment programs; teachers discuss curriculum and students 'meet' at videoconferences.
