In today’s environment, even good kids from fine homes sometimes face difficult choices. Our goal is very simple: prevention. There are so many challenges facing teenagers these days – some obvious, some treacherously deceptive.
Our objective is to intervene before little problems become big problems – before a teen comes close enough to the edge to fall.

Parent Mentoring
Parent Mentoring
Being a parent takes almost superhuman strength today. Being a parent in a frum household requires almost divine intervention. Coercive social influences, longer work days, two-working parents... the stress of everyday life can become a terrible burden. When problems with teenagers arise, some families are simply not equipped to deal with the situation effectively. Many families are emotionally buckling under the strain.
Project Y.E.S. has developed a program designed specifically to address the situation.
Bright Beginnings
Kriah
Perhaps the most important skill that our children need to succeed in school is kriah, Hebrew-reading skills, as boys and girls will need them throughout their life in school – and beyond.
Please review this section for links to kriah assessment tools, including the outstanding KriahScan, developed by Dr. Herschel Fried in association with Torah Umesorah, kriah remediation tools, books and computer programs to teach and support kriah skills

Chumash
93% of all words in chumash are permutations and variations of 270 shorashim. So, if children (and adults) are taught the rudimentary structure of Hebrew language – prefix and suffix, nouns and verbs, singular and plural uses of these words – mastery of chumash becomes so much easier.
Please review this section for links to creative skill-based materials, sefarim and books to help “learn-how-to-learn,” and computer programs to help develop a lifelong love of learning.

Gemorah
Learning gemarah requires three diverse and new skills for the beginner:
- Learning a new language (Aramaic), including ‘gemarah-speak’, the terms and phrases commonly used in the gemara
- Beginning to read without nekudos (punctuation)
- (and perhaps most challenging,) Using deductive reasoning to follow the track of the gemarah.
In this section, we will provide materials to help children and adults learn the language, understand the terms used in the gemarah, provide links to creative skill-based materials and flow charts to help track the logic of the gemarah, sefarim and books to help master the intricacies – and timeless beauty of gemarah
