Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach was best known for his unique method of teaching the bible to children. He would teach them each lesson by reading it to them repeatedly and then by asking them to teach it to him repeatedly. When the children had memorized the text, he would put them in front of a microphone and ask them to teach it to him. The rabbis and parents loved it, but the software developer hated it. His name was Shlomo Carlebach, and he believed his unique methods were the best way to train a child to learn the bible.
