In the Satam workshop, we see before our eyes the importance of connecting the children-teenagers before us to the Torah scroll, the commandments of the mezuzah and tefillin. The workshops offer a fascinating combination of learning and experience. "The workshops were fascinating, and enriched the students with their knowledge of the process of making tefillin, and the writing process of a Sofer Satam. The workshop is very experiential, and strengthens the children's connection to our heritage. Rabbi Menachem conveys it in a pleasant way, and communicates well with the students. I highly recommend the workshop." Keren Froelich, Educational Director, Yad Yaakov Foundation There are a variety of workshops for a variety of ages and with a variety of emphases, from workshops in preparation for receiving the Torah scroll, to workshops in small and high yeshivahs, around studying Tractate Minachot, and the laws of writing Satam. It is possible to combine a classroom workshop, and a father-son evening for joint study with the parents.

In the Tefillin workshop, we connect the boys to the Tefillin commandment, through fascinating learning and experience. The activity includes: a table with various exhibits, a fascinating conversation accompanied by a presentation, a writing workshop During the workshop: Learn about Tefillin in an experiential and fascinating way. See the test program. Hold open Tefillin houses. Observe Tefillin parsiyas at different levels. Experience writing on parchment with a quill and ink, while explaining the writing method. Are exposed to a sample of the laws of the Hastm "It was important to me that the students meet closely with the Tefillin, touch them with their hands and see what the Tefillin look like inside and out... It was an experience for the students, to get to know more closely and more deeply, the important mitzvah that they are going to take upon themselves this year.

Fathers and Sons' Evening is an activity that connects parents and children, around a joint study of tefillin. The evening usually begins with the arrival of the parents and an Arabic tefillin, while at the same time a table of interesting exhibits is laid. Later, the parents and their son learn together from a shared and intriguing study sheet. Then everyone concentrates on a fascinating reading accompanied by a presentation, during which they hold tefillin sections at different levels. Finally, there is time for questions. At the end of the evening, at the invitation of the school, an experiment can be held in writing or in increasing and decreasing the knot of a head. The speaker touched on: Why is the sofer called a "sofer" (and not a writer)? What are the laws of writing? What are goyil, tag, intention and other concepts from the world of writing? What is the difference in writing between Torah scrolls and tefillin and mezuzot? "A fascinating lecture... creates a lot of interest in the children... a lot of knowledge... even though there were judges and rabbis there with great knowledge, and the students also had a high Torah level, it gave everyone something..." (Rabbi Ofer T.T. Yad Binyamin)
