Madrichim Team 2025-2026/5786

Our Madrichim Team—affectionately known as the M-Team—plays a vital role in the success of our Torah Center. As a madrich or madricha, you’ll support our classrooms in a variety of meaningful ways: assisting with lessons, leading games and activities, guiding small groups, working one-on-one with students, and more. Your presence and effort help create an engaging, supportive learning environment for everyone.

Being part of the M-Team is a serious commitment. We count on you to show up consistently, take your responsibilities seriously, and follow through on what’s asked of you. When you join the M-Team, you’re making a promise—to your teachers, your students, and your community.
