Q&A

 

Q.  Which gedolim and mechanchim are supporting this concept?

A.  Animated Talmud is under the auspices of Harav Mordechai Goldstein of Diaspora Yeshiva in Eretz Yisrael, who lends his full endorsement and support of the program.  Before the final version of the program is ready for distribution, we will present it to various other gedolim for their review and haskamot.

 

 

Q.  A few have asked:  What happened to Eisek Hatorah & Amailut which is a critical aspect of Talmud Torah?

A.  We are trying to make our holy Talmud accessible to all Jews in all walks of life. Have you ever seen a learning challenged child struggle to make sense of all the words floating by on a page of Talmud?  Is this child's Jewish soul not as important as yours or mine?   True learning, Eisek Hatorah and amailut can only happen once the basics are understood.  The rewarding struggle that goes on when truly delving into the Talmud will only happen once the original concept is "chapped".  Then, in depth discussion can take place.  Animated Talmud is an introduction to the basics.  Imagine how much more learning can take place once the basic mishna & concepts are understood through some visual aid that will without a doubt, stay in your mind forever. 

 

 

Q.  Where can I order the program?

A.  When the program comes out you will be able to order it right here on our web site or from Judaica stores near you.

 

 

Q.  I have a child with learning disabilities.  Will this program be good for him?

A.  This program is excellent for such a child.  It is visually oriented and rich with character animation.  So far, every young student who saw the sample was captivated by what he saw and was able to remember what he learned easily and clearly.  That is the beauty of the program.  It appeals to children of all types and abilities as well as adults, reaching across all barriers, making the Talmud accessible to everyone.

 

 

Q.  Do you have more of a demo than what is currently available online?

A.  Not right now.  However, we would be happy to email a beta version of certain sections to those who are interested in critiquing constructively and think that they may have something to add to the final version of the program.

 

 

Q.  My son is going in to the first grade.  Can I give him the program too?

A.  Yes.  Aside from all the other learning features, one can also sit back and watch the entire page of gemarah from start to finish like a movie.  Not only is every minute of viewing time educational, it is also entertaining.

 

 

Q.  I'm interested in the business aspect of the project as I may be willing to invest the funds if the math works.  Is this possible?

A.  People who wish to invest want a large return on their money and they don't want to mix investments with something that is more appealing to their emotions, doing good in the world etc.  In that sense, the math does not work out for Animated Talmud.  We now seek sponsors for the program.  If you are interested, and would like to see your name on the program, please check out our sponsor link.  If you are interested in investing in something that could be quite lucrative and Jewish I will send you other great ideas that I have.

 

 

Q.  Is this program only on the internet or on CD too?

A.  Currently, it will only be offered in CD version.

 

 

Q.  When will the whole shas be finished?

A.  Probably not before the new Daf Yomi cycle is finished!
