About Parative: Parative is not a CRM for CS. It’s a Customer Orchestration System which combines an AI-powered data platform, a robust automation engine, and a rich collection of CX add-ons to transform manual Success teams into scalable revenue teams. How It Works: Parative can be used in 2 unique ways. 1. Enrich current systems with "headless" CS automation. Unlike traditional Success platforms (CSPs), Paratives COS does not have to be an application where teams spend their time. It can be used entirely from other systems as either a solution to improve your existing CSP, or as a CS conversion kit on top of your CRM. 2. Replace current systems with a more-in-one (for less) COS. Some teams want a dedicated space for CS, but they need to reduce spend by consolidating redundant or overpriced systems. Paratives COS can replace any of the following tools: CSP, feedback, onboarding, voting, announcements, & customer portals.

Partners in Torah’s signature phone study program offers Jewish adults of all backgrounds across North America a cost-free learning opportunity to discover Judaism – its culture, history, and traditions – at their pace and their schedule. Jewish men and women with an interest in acquiring specific skills (ex: Hebrew reading or Talmud) or who simply want to build on their Jewish knowledge-base, are matched, one-to-one, with a carefully selected personal Torah trainer or “mentor” for up to an hour a week of over-the-phone study and discussion. Participants can choose any topic including Hebrew, Jewish philosophy, or history. In its decade and a half of operation, Partners in Torah has engaged more than 30,000 intellectually curious Jews across North America, and today supports some 13,000 weekly study partnerships. Partners in Torah also runs a full range of exciting study programs including personalized community-based learning, celebrated Shabbatons and unforgettable retreats. A cohesive team of 26 qualified professionals work out of offices in New Jersey and Jerusalem. One of the most important aspects of the study program is clearly Partners in Torah’s involvement and ongoing support offered to each of its participants – week in and week out. In addition to making Jewish knowledge accessible to Jews no matter where they may live, Partners in Torah aims to foster unity among Jews of all backgrounds and denominations.
