Project TEAM, children transforming the world, one victory at a time!

MissionEvery Jewish child has a unique mission that only they can fulfill to help transform the world into a place where Hashem feels at home. As helpers of Hashem, every Mitzvah performed and personal victory achieved, influence others to do the same, resulting in the entire world being infused with Hashem’s presence, and bringing about the coming of Moshiach.

Through it’s invaluable proactive approach, children are guaranteed success in social-emotional development and building strength of character all while being instilled with a deep connection and love for Hashem (G-D).
Sima is driven by the message of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shneerson, OBM, that every Jewish child has a unique mission that only they can fulfill to help transform the world into a place where Hashem feels at home. Each victory performed by a child brings us closer to our goal.
She is on a mission to pass this message on to the children of today and to the educators who guide them. Together we can pave the way for children to reach their fullest potential.
