This week at Kehillah, our students dove into key aspects of democracy and citizenship! | |
On Monday during Assembly and SWAP, students participated in a special program focused on the U.S. election season. These workshops aimed to deepen their understanding of democracy and the importance of informed decision-making. For more details on Monday's election programming, please read “Empowered Voices, Informed Choices: Workshops on Democracy” from Associate Head of School Dr. Roy Danovitch. | |
Meanwhile, students in Hebrew Teacher Einav Cohen’s class recently presented their final projects on Israeli Law and Society. After conducting deep independent research and engaging in class discussions, students explored three current controversial topics in Israeli society. The presentations, shared with their parents, were a testament to their hard work and impressive insights into the complexities of Israeli society. Great job to these talented students! | |
