The Gopins: When a Child Cannot Read [Divergence 6/6]

Receive our FREE newsletters at 18forty.org/join.

Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel.
This episode is sponsored by Yeshivat Shalshelet, which gives children with language-based learning differences the confidence and skills to thrive academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Donate to its matching campaign at theshalsheletdifference.org.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Bayla Gopin—a student with dyslexia— and her mother, Chana, who brought Bayla to Yeshivat Shalshelet when her previous school was ignoring her needs.

We also sit down with Shulamit Roth, Shalshelet’s founder, to talk about how we can expand the circle of who Yiddishkeit is for. In this episode we discuss:

  • Does our emphasis on text-based learning leave some students out?
  • How do we handle the perceived social stigma of needing to deviate from our “Plan A”?
  • How does a child deal with switching schools when school is such a huge part of their world?

Tune in to hear a conversation about how we can nurture every student the way he or she was created.

Interview begins at 11:40.

Shulamit Roth is a language and speech pathologist who has dedicated her career to helping students with language based learning disabilities. Her passion for teaching Jewish students with language-based learning disabilities led her to founding Yeshivat Shalshelet, where she helps students access the beauty of Torah and achieve their academic and personal potential.
