Our History
When a teacher in the Scranton Hebrew Day School saw the success of Rabbi Aichenbaum's limudei kodesh resource room, she lamented that her grandchildren do not have any local options for quality special education. The idea for the Online Resource Room soon started to develop. Since then, the Online Resource Room has helped children literally across the world gain access to quality limudei kodesh remediation.
