Defying Danger: Chabad Educators Rally in Israel’s North 

Over 70 principals from Chabad institutions fearlessly gathered at a kibbutz in the north of Eretz Yisroel for a three day kinus full of informative lectures, workshops, and empowerment sessions.

In a bold move amidst heightened tensions and anxiety across Israel, particularly in the northern region, the Reshet Oholei Yosef Yitzchok educational network recently held its annual conference for school principals. The three-day event took place at Kibbutz Lavi in the heart of northern Israel, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to supporting its educators and maintaining normalcy despite the challenging circumstances.

Over 70 principals from Chabad educational institutions gathered for the conference, which followed a similar event for teachers held in Nir Etzion just a week prior. The decision to proceed with the conference in the north, despite the ongoing security concerns, was part of a broader initiative to bolster support for educators in the region who continue their dedicated work with students during these trying times.

The conference provided a comprehensive program designed to empower and inspire the principals. Participants engaged in a series of lectures, workshops, and special empowerment sessions, all aimed at preparing them for the upcoming academic year and addressing the unique challenges posed by the current situation.

A key focus of the event was equipping principals with tools and strategies to maintain strong connections with their students, especially during periods of uncertainty. The Reshet emphasized the importance of utilizing all available resources to ensure continuous support for students, regardless of how the situation may develop.

This gathering underscores the Reshet’s unwavering commitment to its educational mission and its educators. By holding the conference in the north and refusing to cancel despite the tense atmosphere, the organization sent a powerful message of resilience and dedication to its staff and the communities they serve.

The Reshet’s proactive approach in supporting its network of teachers and principals highlights its role as a pillar of strength in the Israeli educational landscape. As the new academic year approaches, the organization continues to demonstrate its adaptability and commitment to providing quality education, even in the face of adversity.
