Mishnafari is rooted in the wisdom of Pirkei Avot, an early framework for what is now known as Social Emotional Learning (SEL). The Mishnafari Guide was designed to bring the adventure book series to life at home or in your classroom through our father's framework of SEL. With the flexibility to purchase individual resources—like posters, workbooks, or access to lesson plans—or grab an all-inclusive bundle, you can tailor the experience to your needs. Each lesson plan includes guided discussions, interactive activities, and engaging worksheets that inspire curiosity, spark meaningful conversations, and foster character development through hands-on learning!

Our training is fully customizable to meet your school’s specific needs, ensuring you feel confident and prepared to bring this program to life!

  • “Last August Tami came to our school and trained our faculty on the Mishnah curriculum. She wrote a series of books to go along with it and began teaching it to our children. Because we are in the same city, I was fortunate enough to have Tami come weekly to teach Mishnah. The response has been overwhelming and children are excited to learn. Through songs, games, and class discussion, children learn positive ways to treat others. My staff is enjoying the books and the activities are easy to follow.”

    — Blair Trotz, Head of School, Barbara K. Lipman Early Learning Center

  • “Tami’s program is ideal for kindergarten learning. It is easy to follow and very user friendly. The pictures are eye-catching and the characters are engaging. The lessons that the program teaches leave a lasting impact on the students and help them improve their relationships with each other.”

    — Rachel Phelps, Kindergarten Teacher at Bornblum Jewish Community School
