One picture paints a thousand words…But nevertheless, we have decided to tell you about the new photography major at Migdal Ohr’s Shalhevet School

As part of this major, the girls learn about the language of photography and gain experience in practical photography, which expresses their inner world. The curriculum enables them to voice their opinions, share and tell their story, through the photography medium.

In this major, the girls find a place for experiential, emotional and social expression, to voice their opinions and to get a message across using visual tools. It encourages them to address issues that interest them, that they care about, or that they have experienced themselves. This is another tool that Migdal Ohr offers the girls in order to develop an ability to honestly and openly express their feelings and thoughts, verbally and visually.

The Shalhevet School was established by Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman for teenage girls at-risk. The school provides the pupils with support, knowledge and the tools to change their life’s trajectory for the good.

Zoharim Youth Village’s 11th graders went on a challenging trek in the desert, to discover their untapped hidden strengths and competence

Currently, the Zoharim Youth Village 12^th graders are on a 5-day challenging trek in the desert. They will walk 72 kilometers and be forced to cope with the desert and its challenges by themselves.

This trek helps the pupils get to know the Negev, with their feet, and to get to know their ability to cope with challenges and difficulties that they often avoid in their daily lives.

During the first day, the boys learned to read a map and the stars, to navigate, light a fire, cook and find shelter; and later on in their journey, they will cope with the desert using their own strengths.

The trek consists of powerful experiences, does not allow them to run away from or avoid coping; and the boys cope with various difficulties, both physical, emotional and social.

Thanks to the intensive coping, the boys begin to recognize their hidden strengths and sense of competence. The trek requires them to make a change from dependency to independence, where at the end, they will discover how much they can succeed in charting their life trajectory on their own.

Rabbi Grossman visited an air force base: “We have witnessed the wonderful expressions of Israeli unity. Our request is that we protect it”

Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman, visited an air force base yesterday, encouraging the ground crew and the pilots who work day and night to protect the security of the State of Israel.

The Rabbi spoke with the soldiers about the importance of the nation’s unity during these days and thanked them for their holy mission to protect the Jewish People.

Rabbi Grossman: “We have witnessed the wonderful expressions of Israeli unity. Our request is that we protect it – so that we are united all the time and not just in times of trouble. We must be ‘brothers in arms’ on a very basic level – without hatred, without disputes, knowing how to disagree and think differently, but also knowing that only if we are united – ‘as one man and one heart’ – no other nation can overcome us. However, if we are not, this is the greatest danger, as we saw what happened.”

The Rabbi strengthened and encouraged and blessed each and every one of them. At the end of the visit, the Rabbi held a prayer service together with the soldiers for the recovery of our wounded soldiers and the speedy return of all the hostages.
