The Game Changer in Chinuch!
Dozens of schools representing many thousands of children
Sample questions are displayed towards the end of this page.
The Kodesh Ability Tests (KATS) tracking and target program administered to Talmidim
once or ideally twice per year uses levels from over 15,000 tests. It is benefitting many
thousands of children across the globe including the UK, USA, Canada, South Africa and
Australia. Developed in the UK, virtually all the major UK boys and girls schools (that say
shiur in English) participate and is now making solid headway into the USA and beyond.
It has a Haskomo from the Gateshead Rosh Yeshiva Horav Avrohom Gurwicz and Torah
Umesorah in the USA. They are suitable from age 8 for Chumash and age 9 for Gemoro
until independence in Chumash (& Rashi) and Gemoro (Rashi & Tosfos).
From way back in time, schools have yearned to independently verify if talmidim are
making real progess, and bring accountability into the system. For all too long this has
eluded the Chinuch World.
KATS was developed by a Gemoro, Mishna and Chumash Rebbe that grapples daily
with this issue. He combined his Kodesh and (Le’Havdil) knowledge of psychometric
testing to create the first ever standardized Gemoro (Rashi & Tosfos) and Chumash (&
Rashi) assessments so no Talmid/a should ever again fall under the radar.
The 17 minute video below, will impact your school far beyond your expectations as it is
doing to dozens of schools, so please take the time to watch it, to see how KATS can
benefit your Talmidim / Talmidos.

About
Rabbi Dovid Benarroch learnt in Gateshead and Mir Yeshiva, and in Kollel in Eretz
Yisroel, Gibraltar and Manchester, where he received Semicha, and is part of a small
group of Sofrim to attain certification by the Beis Din of the Eida Charedis. He is a Rebbe
at Manchester Mesivta and runs the school’s SEN Department. He has a MA in SEN,
and is certified in the use of psychometric testing (IQ, Working Memory etc.). It has been
his passion that no Yiddishe Neshomo should fall through the net and suffer the dire
consequences, so he devoted many years to develop KATS.
Please Watch the Video
REMEMBER:
Chazoro (revision) of whatever piece of Chumash or Gemoro will
significantly increase the KATS score - its that simple!
Yiddish version is now available.
“I saw Rabbi Benarroch’s ad for KATS and I was intrigued. Standardized
tests in Limmudei Kodesh?... We have a real indication of what each
talmid has mastered and we are definitely going to do this on a bi-yearly
basis. I highly recommend KATS for every elementary school!”
Rabbi Dovid Engel, Menahel of Toronto Cheder
