How it works
Back to Basics gives students everything they need to learn a Sicha in the original Yiddish: the skills to read it, the support to understand it, and the tools to make it personal.
Each element is color coded, so teachers can choose what to emphasize and students always know where they are.

Students work through the original Yiddish with support on every page, until they can stand on their own.
Step 3 of 3
The Sicha becomes personal: students review what they learned and see how the Rebbe applied it to real lives.
