mashgiach training program

212.227.1000 ext 4630,4631

To assist yeshivos in remediation services for students struggling socially or emotionally, a group of men were trained as Mashgichim in one year of intense classes on Stages of Development, Learning Disabilities, Emotional & Social Disorders, Empathy & Active Listening, and other Mental Health issues. Graduates commit to work as a Mashgiach for three years in the yeshiva which chose them as a candidate for the training program, with Torah Umesorah providing one year of supervision. Trained Mashgichim create a working relationship with the Principal and Rebbeim, while being an advocate for the students, thus creating an optimal environment for classes to function more effectively.
