Even in the midst of ongoing challenges, our students continue to demonstrate resilience, compassion, and a strong sense of community—balancing their academic responsibilities with meaningful experiences, wellness, and opportunities to give back.

On Monday, our students participated in both a special AP English enrichment activity and a Pilates session. The combined programming supported both the students’ academic growth and overall wellness.

The next day, our Israel studies teachers led a Mock Seder and Passover program. The program included meaningful discussions about freedom, liberation, and identity, deepening everyone’s connection to their Jewish heritage. This was followed by relaxing yoga, giving the students the opportunity to unwind and center themselves.

On Wednesday, students were able to leave campus for the first time since the war, which everyone was incredibly excited about! Traveling to the G Mall in Kfar Saba, students shopped for Passover and spent time with their peers. As engaged and happy as our teens have been on campus, there’s no denying that the tiyul boosted their spirits for the rest of the week.

Wanting to pay it forward, our students spent the next day boosting the spirits of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers, preparing care packages for soldiers on the front lines, reminding the heroes protecting our country that they are not alone. This was followed by a hands-on pasta-making workshop, combining meaningful contribution with a fun shared experience.

We are deeply proud of the way our students continue to show strength, adaptability, and care for one another, and we remain committed to providing them with a safe, supportive, and enriching environment each day.
