Introducing
“Shine Your Light” Leadership Academy
Welcome to Rae Shagalov’s new membership program for parents, teachers & grandparents! It includes a fun printable games library and short video trainings that show you everything you need to know to get your kids up and running with their very own Passion Projects!
PLUS, you’ll have Rae’s help!
Watch your kids light up with excitement when they engage in their Passion Projects!
Passion Projects Help Kids Integrate Torah & Get Excited About Mitzvahs!
Unfortunately, too many kids are not feeling connected to what they’re learning.
They may be losing interest in Torah and mitzvahs because they don’t feel valued and successful in school and shul.
Passion Projects encourage our kids to use the very best of who they are – even if they’re not doing well in school!
Passion Projects deeply nurture young hearts and souls through authentic, deep connections to G-d, self, family and community.
These are some examples of Passion Projects kids have actually done.
⭐ 1st Graders collected 700 coats for the homeless and put kind notes in the pockets
⭐ 6th Graders organized and ran the 3D printing program at their school FOR 3 YEARS!
⭐ A 9 year old boy researched and wrote a book to convince his uncle to quit smoking. P.S. It worked!
⭐ 3 Nine year old girls ran a toy drive for foster kids
⭐ A 10 year old published a book on Amazon – and it became a best seller!
⭐ A 6th grader ran lunchtime farbrengens and taught Tanya
⭐ A 7 year old set a goal to be on time for school every morning. She organized her siblings to make it happen!
AND SO MANY MORE!
Passion Projects train our future Jewish leaders in a fun way!
They learn how to proactively find problems and create solutions in their own communities.
SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL LEARNING BUILT IN!
Passion Projects show kids how to create happy, meaningful and rewarding lives. Social and emotional learning is built in from the very beginning. They begin with empathy to understand the audience they want to reach with their products, programs, and services.
Leading their own projects creates a foundation for their confidence and self-esteem.
“SHINE YOUR LIGHT” GAMES ARE FUN AND SHOW KIDS HOW TO BE LEADERS!
In Shine Your Light Leadership Academy I’m going to show you how to be their mentor as the games guide your kids into becoming leaders.
It’s independent learning – the kids do the work on their own!

Greetings & Blessings, my friend!
My name is Rae Shagalov, founder of the Shine Your Light Leadership Academy, the Passion Projects Mastermind for Jewish Women, and Holy Sparks Press.
I’m a busy wife, mom, bubby, educator & artist with a few college degrees. But, I’ll tell you a secret. I’m also a high school dropout. I was a straight-A student but in my last year of public high school I felt so stifled. I just couldn’t stand it anymore!
I don’t want any bright kids to suffer like I did!
With G-d’s help, I’ve coached more than 4,000 children and women to develop their creativity, talents, and leadership abilities through passion project-based learning.
I recently retired from my 20 year career as a school librarian and gifted education specialist at Emek Hebrew Academy and Yavneh Hebrew Academy.
But I couldn’t stay retired when the need is so urgent!
It hurts my heart to see so many kids who don’t like school because they’re not allowed to use their talents and creativity in the classroom.
Now, I want to help you and your kids with my PROVEN unique transformational program that has helped thousands of kids like yours. I can pretty much guarantee that with G-d’s help, you will see your kids do remarkable things!
It will change their lives and how they see themselves for the better. And your life will change, too! I can’t wait to meet you inside our Shine Your Light Leadership Academy!
BUILD CONFIDENCE
Kids need to feel understood.
They need to feel valued and valuable in their own families, shuls, schools, and communities.
But, as we know, they sometimes “fall between the cracks.”
Passion Projects give kids a portfolio of leadership experiences where they are creating value in their communities and being seen and appreciated for their efforts.

GAME #3

These printable Passion Project tickets are a great way to give kids lots of creative practice in changing the world around them in small and great ways.
Print them out, cut them up and put them in a jar – ready to use for those “I’m bored” moments.
GAME #4
THE CREATOR CARDS GAME
THE CREATOR CARDS HELP KIDS BECOME SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS!
Passion projects encourage the entrepreneurial skills of innovation, creativity, resilience, grit, critical thinking, and interpersonal communication. They teach children how to start businesses and become communal leaders and design thinkers who look for solutions to their problems – starting at age 6! They’ll practice creative leadership and design the most amazing life-changing projects that they love!
GAME #5
The Passion Project Passport pulls it all together into a fun tool that helps the kids plan their passion projects so they can be off and running with everything they need to reach their goals. In Shine Your Light Leadership Academy I’ll show you how to introduce it so they can’t wait to use it!
GAME #6
Does your child or student get into power struggles with teachers and principals?
Often, behavior problems are misplaced leadership. The child wants to be in control but doesn’t know how to do it in an appropriate way.
Passion Projects put kids in charge of their own learning and train them in the path of true leadership.
My experience as a Gifted Education specialist is that most of those kids who get put out into the hallway for misbehaving become the very best versions of themselves when they work on their Passion Projects.
They step into their greatness and become a completely different type of kid – a true leader!
GAME #7
It’s important for kids to discover their passions and strengths. The Passion Fruits game & journal will lead your kids to explore who they are and who they want to be!
Kids need to learn to be comfortable with themselves and their unique interests and talents.
They only need you to give them a way they can explore!

THEY DON’T FIT THE MOLD
Is your child smart but under challenged? Always a step or two (or more) ahead of the class?
You feel like they’re not living up to their potential.
Maybe they’re even quashing themselves to fit in.
Your child has talents and maybe your school has no idea how to develop them. Or you’re a great teacher and you don’t want to just give your gifted and talented kids more worksheets.
They’re not being challenged enough and need something more.
Super smart kids come with their own particular set of challenges. It’s a very different kind of special needs.
SKIP THE BUSY WORK!
Giving a gifted student more busy work is NOT going to motivate them.
It’s going to turn them off. They have many interests and passions and crave multi-faceted projects.
WELCOME TO SHINE YOUR LIGHT LEADERSHIP ACADEMY!
PASSION PROJECTS BRING OUT THE BEST IN EVERYONE!
Kids do great things in small ways and small things in great ways.

HOW LONG DO PASSION PROJECTS TAKE?
That totally depends on the kids. It can take 5 minutes, a week, 6 months off-and-on, a year, or it can become a lifelong pursuit. That’s the beauty of Passion Projects! They open up the lifelong joyful passions and life mission of the child.
HOW MUCH WORK IS THIS GOING TO BE FOR ME?
