When my husband and I left our church back in 2007, we suddenly realized that we were responsible to teach our children spiritual things. There would be no Sunday school. It was all on us. That can be a very overwhelming feeling, but it doesn’t have to be. There are lots of people and resources available to help you. This is a growing list.

Torah portion and Scripture teaching

Torah puppets – These shows are adorable. I thought the characters were funny and engaging, but was also pleasantly surprised at the depth of the teaching in a show geared for kids. They are diligent to help children see Yeshua in the Torah. You can watch on Youtube or buy DVDs.

Hebraic Roots Network – This channel houses teachers such as Brad Scott, Rico Cortes, Bill Cloud, Dinah Dye, Holissa Alewine, and more. I did not list each of these ministries separately, but they are a great group of teachers. You can find them at their website and Roku.

Context for Kids – This ministry involves a series of videos and books designed to give children cultural context to the stories they are learning in Scripture. There are some meaty teachings here, explained for children. You can purchase books on Amazon, and watch video teachings on Youtube. Just FYI, the books and videos do not necessarily overlap in content.

Aleph Beta Academy – This is a website I have just begun to explore. There are dozens of video teachings that will help you to dig deeper into the Scripture passages and look for connections between different stories. Many of the videos are free to watch, some require a subscription.

Torah Class – If you need to learn Scripture thoroughly, this is the site. Tom takes you through the Bible one chapter at a time, looking at what is in the passage as well as providing background information. With a free site registration, you can access transcripts, audio and video of each chapter. He has also put together homeschool textbooks.

119 Ministries – This ministry is an excellent source of video teachings to give you a good foundation in such topics as why we keep Torah, what to do with Paul’s teachings, tzitzits, etc.
