For Your Son.
A Chaburah That Knows His Name.

That’s the norm, not the exception. A chaburah is matched, not pre-existing. We place your son with four others at a similar learning level and background — the same way a yeshiva forms a shiur on day one. The mashpia runs the first session as an introduction so nobody walks in cold.

Within two or three sessions, most bochurim tell us they feel like they’ve been learning together for months. Small chaburah. Same faces. Shared sefer. It compounds quickly.

Treatment schedules are why we built the program this way. Every shiur is recorded. If he misses Tuesday because of a transfusion, he watches Tuesday’s shiur on Wednesday morning — same chaburah, same mashpia, same sefer — and joins Thursday live. No one is marked absent. No one is pushed.

We’ve had bochurim attend two shiurim one week and all three the next. The chaburah holds his place either way.

No. The tablet is pre-configured before it leaves our office. It connects to the hospital wifi (or cellular data, if needed) on first boot. It’s locked to the chaburah platform — no browser, no apps, no distractions. One tap to join the shiur at the scheduled time.

If anything goes wrong, our intake line is the same number you’d call to apply. A real person picks up.

The platform serves male talmidim only, taught by male mashpi’im only. There is no public-facing video roster. During a shiur, your son sees his mashpia and his four chaburah-mates — no strangers, no open Zoom rooms, no chat with outsiders.

The tablet is locked to the platform. There is no browser, no YouTube, no social feed. We built it this way on purpose.

Some bochurim go through weeks where they don’t want to open a sefer. The mashpia knows. He’ll call. He’ll say a short vort. He won’t push. This is the difference between a chaburah and a class — a class loses a student, a chaburah holds him.

If your son wants to pause for a zman, his seat waits. If he wants to leave the program, he leaves. No paperwork, no guilt.

Our mashpi’im are practicing maggidei shiur and roshei chabura from established yeshivos, vetted by Rabbi Goldenberg and the roshei yeshiva listed below in the endorsements section. Every mashpia has taught bochurim in a classroom before teaching them here.

Before a match is finalized, we share the mashpia’s background with the family and give you the option to speak with him by phone.

Nothing, for the family. The tablet, the platform, the mashpia, the shipping, the tech support — all of it is funded by donors, mosdos, and community foundations. There is no hidden charge, no “premium tier,” no co-pay.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our 990 is public. If your rav or a family advisor wants to see our financials before you apply, we’ll send them directly.

That’s what the “Apply for a Loved One” button is for. A parent, spouse, sibling, rav, or hospital chaplain can submit the application on his behalf. We never contact the talmid directly without the family’s permission first.

You’ll tell us where he is, what he likes to learn, and the best way to reach you. We handle the rest. If he’s too unwell to decide right now, we’ll hold the slot until the family is ready.
