TORAH HEALTH AND FITNESS - Launched last year, Torah Health and Fitness is a response to a growing awareness that the Jewish community has not paid enough attention to this mitzvah. We have the same health stats as the general public including tragic levels of preventable conditions such as diabetes and cardio-vascular disease. Our mission as the Jewish People is greatly handicapped because we are not meeting this challenge. In addition to medical knowledge we have 3,000 years of Torah wisdom on this subject, but until now it has been scattered across many books, most of which have never been translated. In partnership with doctors and dietitians, the program includes current medical information (with references to medical literature) on what is known about nutrition, exercise, weight loss and longevity. We know from ten years of R&D that this combination of Torah wisdom and medical knowledge can increase awareness of how vital and easy it is to eat and exercise (etc.) healthfully and to increase the holiness with which we treat our bodies, and thereby keep Jews out of the hospital, nursing homes, and wheelchairs for preventable reasons. While Jewishly-focused, our long-term goal is to help anyone of any background achieve improvements in health, wellbeing and longevity. The book (Body & Soul: The Torah Path to Health, Fitness and a Holy Life), the free resource website (https://torahhealth.org), and our numerous workshops, seminars and podcasts have helped thousands of readers make permanent improvements to their lives and wellbeing. 5780 44000 JTI - JEWISH TEACHERS INSTITUTE - In its eighth year, this project to train and mentor teachers for Jewish day schools continued with a cohort of 7 teachers. The JTI "Boot Camp / Recharge" includes: model and practice a Harry Wong-informed classroom management method, simple concrete indicators of successful teaching (following Thomas Sergiovanni's and Elliot Eisner's models of professional standards), lesson planning and assessments, principles of visual and differentiated instruction and hands-on engagement, effective use of textbooks A/V resources and other technologies; with specific curricular support as well. All participants increased their knowledge and skills in one or more of the above categories. Reduced annual participation reflects success: JTI-trained teachers increased their classroom effectiveness and were more likely to continue teaching. 4313 24000 EDUCATING EDUCATORS - We continued to expand the quantity and quality of the J-IDEA teacher training program's 10 major content categories: Jewish Holidays, Art of Amazement, Esoteric, Marriage, Ritual, Ethics, Meditation & Prayer, Texts, History and Miscellaneous. In addition, we directly trained and mentored a new cohort of educators, increasing their skills at implementing experiential learning, and their thousands of students. JSLI pedagogy provided them with fresh and innovative ways to motivate students in learning and develop their respect and love of Judaism. 0 3200 MEDIA DISTRIBUTION - Our worldwide book distribution continued, including the best-selling "Art of Amazement: Discover Judaism's Forgotten Spirituality" in two languages, the "Art of Amazement Haggada", and "Restoring the Kuzari;" plus the Bar Mitzvah Album, found at https://barmitzvahalbum.com. Thousands of visitors found quality books and toys via our searchable site, https://bestjewishbooks.com and thousands of new users are learning a daily nugget of Jewish wisdom and inspiration with our popular iPhone app - The Amazing Jewish Fact-a-Day Calendar. 180 5100 E-LEARNING - Our daily, weekly, and monthly video Torah classes continued, including "Zoom Talmud." Our weekly "Table Talk" entered its fifteenth year, bringing food for thought and discussion to thousands of Friday night dinner tables worldwide. 1430 24000 100300 Alexander Seinfeld Chairman 5 92000 Harmon Shragge Treasurer 1 0 Gina Rosenfield Board Member 0.25 0 Kyle Bach Board Member 1 0 Todd Samuels Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MD Jewish Spiritual Literacy Inc 3700 Menlo Drive Baltimore MD 21215 4104009820 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 139717 210804 124479 103359 11690 590049 19053 44555 58890 26717 18332 167547 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 158770 255359 183369 130076 30022 757596 0 0 0 0 0 0 43275 48300 23937 18643 67209 201364 43275 48300 23937 18643 67209 201364 556232 0 0 447 130 577 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 447 130 577 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 158770 255359 183369 130523 30152 758173 0.73365 0.78979 0.00076 0.00053 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Office Expense;2543|Books and Research and Educational Material;1810|Travel Expense;4983|Charitable Contribution;297|Bank Charges;914|Depreciation Expense;487|Fundraising Expense;1385|Conference Fee;716|Advertising and Marketing Expense;72^Total;13207^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Description;Amount^Account Receivable was understated for prior year;71^Total;71^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Account Receivable;1789|Inventory Asset;2543|Computer;8829|Accumulated Depreciation;-7854^Total;5307^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Account Payable;806^Total;806^ Extension was filed.
