Dear Friends, As we approach the New Year, I am delighted to share with you a short letter with highlights from the iTaLAM 2017-18 school year and a look at highlights planned for the year ahead.
TaL AM + iTaLAM
iTaLAM is also thrilled to share with you that TaL AM, the organization established, nurtured, and developed so successfully by Tova and Shlomo Shimon, Miriam Cohen, and Drorit Farkash transitioned this year to a new organization, iTaLAM.org, operating out of Montreal and Israel. We are extremely grateful to the AVI CHAI Foundation, which has generously supported the development of iTaLAM up to this point, to CIJE for the support in the field and to Compedia, our partners, who manage the technical development of the program. We look forward to building new partnerships with new supporters going forward in order to ensure that Jewish children around the world can benefit from the excellence and wide range of iTaLAM educational products.
With so many exciting developments and transitions ahead, we welcome the ongoing commitment and support of all of our partners – principals, teachers, school communities, foundations, philanthropists – and hope that we all may enjoy a wonderful, sweet, successful, peaceful year ahead.
