TORAH UMESORAH
THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR HEBREW DAY SCHOOLS Catalogue of Educational Materials
2015-2017 תשע“ו-תשע“ז
Home • School • Student • Teacher • Principal New at TU Publications! Foreword
Each time we produce an updated Publications catalogue, we do so with much joy as well as a sense of angst because of the fact that there are constant updates, especially regarding new materials that have either been created by Publications or newly adopted by us for distribution. That fact renders the catalogue marginally obsolete not long after it has been re- leased. At the same time, this is precisely our goal: to relentlessly update materials and to provide the over 10,000 classrooms serviced by Torah Umesorah with the latest in learning mate- rials. The period since the last catalogue was printed has been historic. It saw the relocation of the main offices of Torah Umesorah from Coney Island Avenue to our own beautiful home on Foster Avenue (corner of Ocean Parkway) in Brook- lyn. It has also witnessed the addition of a number of new di- visions and projects to serve the chinuch community. Additionally it has been a time for rethinking some of the objectives of the Publications Department to service schools more efficiently. Dozens of new products have come on board to enable the opening of additional vistas for mechanchim and mechanchos. I would like to express my gratitude to my illustrious col- leagues in Torah Umesorah – with particular thanks to Rabbi Dovid Nojowitz, TU’s Menahel, and Rabbi Zvi Bloom, the or- ganization’s executive director, as well as to the entire staff of the Publications Department: this catalogue is the result of our collective efforts. May The Ribbono Shel Olam grant that this catalogue result in ongoing to’eles in assisting the family of educators in North America and worldwide to continuing success in their avodas hakodesh.

Minchas Yaakov ‐ the Rashi Companion by Rabbi Yaakov Marcus When the first volume of the five volume “Minchas Yaakov ‐ The Rashi Companion” was published, the age‐old ques on of menahalim ‐ “How can we get our talmidim to excel in learning Chumash‐Rashi?” ‐ was put to rest. Since then, 5th‐12th graders, boys and girls, in mosdos across the U.S. have been using “The Rashi Companion” as a tool to help them master Chumash‐Rashi. With haskamos from Harav Aharon Schechter, and Harav Nosson Zvi Finkel, the series consists of a compila on of detailed ques ons on every single Rashi in the en re Torah. It is user friendly, with each pasuk labeled, every divrei hamaschil in bold, as well as where each of the aliyos are. The Vayikra Teacher’s Edi on, consis ng of detailed answers to all the ques ons on Rashi, has been published.
