It doesn’t have to end after you hang up the phone! Many TorahMates become close friends as they grow together every week. Annual retreats bring the TorahMates community together for a weekend of growth and bonding, and as a bonus, TorahMates earn miles for every minute they learn which can be used to purchase many different types of great prizes! In 2020, the TorahMates’ Jewish Resources website was launched as well, giving visitors a convenient location that houses weekly inspiration, recipes, holiday guides, and more.
