Emotional Morning Today: Partnership Students and Faculty Depart for Israel

It was a remarkably emotional morning for our 8th grade, as our partners fro ORT Yad Singlovsky departed for LAX.  I went onto the bus to say a final goodbye to students and teachers, and every single student was crying.....every one.  Each having shared an incredible week of connection with our students.  Six of the nine NEVER having left Israel before.   And now, their lives and relationships have been impacted forever by this experience.

Here are some photos of the delegation:

The School Twinning program, sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater LA, is an AMAZING opportunity for our students, and those of our partner school, ORT Yad Singlovsky in Tel Aviv.

This year marks the third year that we have partnered with ORT Yad Singlovsky.  Ten days ago, nine students arrived for the delegation here in Los Angeles.  It is hard to believe how quickly the time has flown by!
