The founder

I'm 14. That's not a disclaimer — it's the point.

I'm a teenager who cares about two things at once: Yiddishkeit, and what technology is becoming. Most people keep those in separate worlds. I think the most important work of my generation is bringing them together — l'shem Shomayim.

I've watched rebbeim and morahs pour their hearts into teaching, then lose hours to busywork — retyping, reformatting, starting from scratch every night. RebbisDesk is my answer: give them back that time, and let them spend it where it belongs.

14 / not a limitation

Age is a number. Caring enough to build something real — that's a decision.

Why I'm building this

Because the people who teach Torah deserve better tools.

A rebbi shouldn't have to choose between a great lesson and a good night's sleep. If technology can carry the busywork, the rebbi can carry the kavanah. That's the whole idea — and I'd rather start building it now than wait until someone gives me permission.

Where it comes from

Built on the shoulders of those who came before.

RebbisDesk runs under Machon Faige, named for my grandmother, Mrs. Faige Hershcovich ע"ה — a midwife who spent her life bringing new life into the world. This is my way of continuing that, in the world of chinuch.
