B”H Torah Live: PU Accelerator, Pitch Night -- One pager Project Brief: The City of Gold Working closely with Day School principals, famed gamification expert Yu-Kai Chou1, and kids themselves we are re-imagining student learning in the digital age. The City of Gold is a self-paced, educational platform for children to craft their own journey through Torah learning by completing an endless playlist of short films, infographics, quizzes, and real-world challenges. In the “game” the kids earn points that unlock features, drive higher status in the game -- and give them the ability to release real-world donations of products and services. When a child completes the Shabbos course for instance, challahs are given out in their name to those in need from bakeries in Jerusalem! Bio Rabbi Yaacov Deyo, the COO of Torah Live is a graduate of Harvard, and earned his semicha from Rav Yitzchak Berkovits of the Jerusalem Kollel. Previous to Torah Live, he built, tested, and raced high-performance ocean going trimarans, did research work in Nicaragua, spent a year on Fellowship doing conflict resolution in Northern Ireland, ran a homeless shelter in Boston, co-created SpeedDating with his students in LA, and co-founded a successful film studio. Timeline We are extremely excited to complete this project. Presently, we are 70% through design, and 50% through the build. Our plan is to start testing early-build milestones in February. Content creation for 1.0 is scheduled to be finished in March. Marketing will begin at that time, and advance throughout the summer for a start-of-the-school-year launch. 1 https://www.tedxlausanne.com/talks/yu-kai-chou/.

Taming the Inner Critic
TAMING THE INNER CRITIC Transforming Attitudes by Judging Favorably s we go about our daily affairs observing and interacting with our family, friends, A acquaintances, and business associates, we are subconsciously (and sometimes consciously!) making judgments about others, either negatively or positively. Every interaction is entered into our mental computer. We can become inclined to judge people negatively. However, the Torah requires that we judge almost everyone positively (except someone with a known reputation for being “evil”). A positive attitude toward others can redefine the entire context of our lives and revolutionize all of our personal relationships. This class will address the following questions: Why should I judge others positively? Isn’t it better not to judge others at all? Must I be naïve and always give the benefit of the doubt? How can I judge someone negatively, maybe his upbringing and life circumstances forced him to act the way he did? How does judging positively affect one’s mindset in general? Class Outline Section I. The Mitzvah to Give Others the Benefit of the Doubt Part A. Loving Others and Judging Them Positively are Mutually Dependent Section II. The Reputation of the Individual Matters Part A. Overview Part B. Judge the Actions, Not the Person Part C. Why Judge at All? Section III. The Benefits of Judging Others Positively Part A. Peace and Harmony Part B. How We Judge Others Determines How God Relates to Us Part C. Seeing the Positive in Others is a Way to Emulate God 1 Bein Adam L’Chavero TAMING THE INNER CRITIC SECTION I.
