Coming Home: Over 60 former students returned to Midreshet Lindenbaum over winter break this past January, partaking in a special alumnae learning program and a tiyul to the Gilboa, in the footsteps of the Tanach. |
| The Gift of Giving: Sonia and Louis Karol of South Africa celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary by sponsoring a tiyul for "their" Ethiopian children at Neveh Shmuel High School. The Karols have "adopted" the school's immigrant students and care for them from afar, providing them with all the basic necessities and any extras they might require throughout their high school careers. |

 Students in the Ann Belsky Moranis School Theater Arts Program at the Shavei Rachel High School for Girls received top marks for their standing-room only performance of "Dreyfus," by Jean-Claude Grumberg. The play, which takes place in 1930s Poland, focuses on a director's attempts at staging a play-within-a-play based on the Dreyfus story, with the agenda of increasing awareness of the situation of Jewish people in Europe. "The dialogue reflects the quest for Jewish identity and the struggle to determine the path which would ensure a Jewish future," explained school principal Danny Epstein, "themes which are still very much relevant today."
| Former Yeshivat Hamivtar Orot Lev teacher Rabbi David Walk revisited Efrat this past winter - bringing with him ten members of the Agudath Sholom synagogue in Stamford, Connecticut, where Walk is currently serving as Education Director. The group indulged in a time-out from their everyday schedules on an Israel Study Mission, spending several days learning with Rabbi Riskin at OTS's Yeshivat Torat Shraga. |

| Also known as "The Jewish Jordan," 20-year-old basketball star Tamir Goodman took a break from practice with Hapoel Givat Shmuel to visit the Neveh Shmuel High School. Students pronounced Goodman -- who wears his colorful, knitted kipa on the court and skipped US collegiate games played on Shabbat -- a "great role model." |
