Sol Practice: Tree Of Life Torah
Daily Practice
- Tefilah: Students connect with themselves, Hashem, and the world through an experiential and SOLFL Tefilah. An emphasis is placed on students learning the Tefilot and connecting the prayers to their own spiritual journey. The week is designed to begin with self-reflection and evolve to be connecting with others, Hashem, and the world. This unique model is truly one-of-a-kind and helps students develop a true connection to Tefilah at their own personal pace and level. Their kavanot (intentions) are captured in a unique student-created SOLFL Siddur Companion that evolves with them as they grow.
- Yoga: Each morning students practice yoga as a form of connecting to their soul and setting intentions for the day. This sets the tone for a day of full connectivity between the mind, heart, and soul which enhances and strengthens the learning experience.
- Tehillim & Mutual Prayer: In the afternoon, students take a moment to pray for each other and the world. This practice is essential for students to practice being givers and to develop deep empathy and care for the world.

Entrepreneurship & Mentorship
At SOLFL Tree of Life Learning Community, impact entrepreneurship is more than just a program—it's a living philosophy. We ignite an entrepreneurial spirit in our students that extends beyond profit-making to embrace social responsibility and global impact. Our approach is grounded in the belief that each child possesses unique talents and passions, which forms the bedrock of our impact entrepreneurship program. This ensures that students can leverage their strengths in tangible entrepreneurial pursuits. Through immersive experiences, students don't just learn about impact entrepreneurship—they embody it. Equipped with the tools and mindset to transform ideas into real businesses addressing social and environmental challenges, they become catalysts for change.
Central to our program are real mentors, experts in their fields, who partner with students based on their passions and interests to work on real life entrepreneurial projects. One day each week, students spend time working with mentors to explore their passions in real life projects. From understanding nuances of conscious capitalism to mastering effective teamwork, students emerge as empathetic and thoughtful entrepreneurs.

Web of Life Science
At SOLFL we believe that nature is a most meaningful teacher. Our Web of Life science curriculum gives students the ability to understand the intrinsic interconnectedness of all living things and gain awareness of key environmental issues. Students will engage in hands-on solutions and develop a sustainability mindset around life-affirming practices. As we designed our curriculum and learning programs, we took inspiration from the fractal, creating interdisciplinary themes that spiral out from the micro to macro and from inside outward. Fractals are images of dynamic systems which we can find throughout the natural world, displaying patterns that are self-similar across different scales. Our eight foundational themes of our Web of Life curriculum include Home, Earth Food, Water Flow, Tree Alchemy, Life in Water, Moon Magic, Eyes on the Sky and Back to the Land.
Our Web of Life science curriculum is rooted in action-oriented, integrated learning units created in partnership with solutionary organizations on theforefront of environmental research, conservation, and innovation aimed at understanding the interconnected relationship between all living things. Our Web of Life units are taught with a local focus at each age-level allowing for a deepening of understanding of living systems.
Our goal is to embrace Wall-less-ness. We want to break down the walls between subjects, between teachers and learners and between learning time and “other” time. Through our Web of Life curriculum, SOLFL students become agents of change - engaged citizens and active members of society.
