This Chanukah, as we celebrate the miracle of light and the resilience of our ancestors, we are reminded of the powerful role Jewish educators play in shaping the future. Just as the menorah’s light spreads across darkness, these leaders illuminate the path forward for Jewish education, ensuring the flame of identity and values continues to burn brightly.
|
|
To decide this year’s award recipients at the Yael International Summit, we will soon release a survey, allowing parents and school communities to determine which schools most deserve this recognition for their outstanding impact.
|
|
At the Yael Foundation, we deeply admire the dedication of every school leader and team working tirelessly to strengthen Jewish identity. Their contributions are invaluable, and we wish we could honor them all.
|
|
Wishing you a joyous and meaningful Chanukah.
