How Does It Work?
Step 1
Audio Collaboration
After a student and parents meet with Cantor Ben, he creates personalized audio recordings of your child’s Torah portion specifically for your child, complete with study sheets. Cantor Ben makes a personalized video explaining the first assignment with clear instructions and sends the first task to the student. The student uses the audio recording and study sheet to work on the task, and then makes an audio recording of their work in progress and sends it back to Cantor Ben.
Step 2
Corrections & Feedback
Cantor Ben will then send back an audio recording in an email with any corrections or advice to help guide them along during the process. If no corrections are required, new tasks are sent. Feedback and positive reinforcement on homework is always provided within 24 hours for maximum learning retention. Students and Cantor Ben interact back and forth on assignments building momentum and confidence with multiple touch points and repeated wins!
Step 3
Progress
Designed to support students and keep parents informed, parents are copied on all communications which helps with accountability and streamlines the process. Cantor Ben is also accessible and responsive to parents throughout the entire journey. One on one Zoom lessons are also available with one of our CoolCantors

About Me
Ben Silverberg is more than just a Cantor; he’s a life coach with 20+ years of experience as a Cantor and educator. Cantor Ben has a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional teachings. He integrates Jewish wisdom and life coaching principles to help students become not only well-prepared for their Bar or Bat Mitzvah but also the best versions of themselves. He instills in them life-long lessons from the Torah on how to be kind, build and strengthen relationships, how to communicate effectively, have strong sense of self and be leaders in their communities.
Initially teaching the “old-fashioned way,” Cantor Ben has evolved his methodology to include an interactive, online learning platform that is as engaging as it is effective. Through this platform, Cantor Ben’s online Hebrew School offers a convenient and fun-filled Jewish education experience that accelerates learning, enhances student confidence, and fosters a positive attitude toward Judaism.
Known for his compassionate approach, Cantor Ben has extensive experience working with special needs students, including those with anxiety, ADHD, autism, and OCD. His inclusive teachings also extend to students questioning their gender identity, offering a space where everyone can feel welcomed and empowered. Cantor Ben also has lots of experience teaching siblings at the same time and welcomes interfaith families.
In addition to his cantorial and educational roles, Cantor Ben serves at the University of Toronto, fundraising for scholarships for students facing financial difficulties. This work embodies his teachings about the importance of sharing resources and lifting up the less fortunate, making him not just a spiritual leader, but also a role model in tangible acts of charity and social justice.
And if you are a teen or adult who, for whatever reason, never had the opportunity for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah or didn’t receive a Jewish education, you’re not alone. Cantor Ben has successfully guided many individuals through this rediscovery process, proving that with him, the possibilities for learning and growth are truly limitless.
