As we begin Purim, Prizmah CEO Paul Bernstein shares a thoughtful message about the vital role Jewish day schools. “This is a moment when we need to follow Mordechai’s example. We need to recognize our current realities and call upon whatever resources we can." "There is a power that we hold close and that we pass on to the next generation... When we make sure that these same components of Jewish identity take root in today’s young people, we, like Esther, tap into the resources closest to us and gain courage." #jewishdayschoolstrending #JDSProud ?

Proud moment for The Shefa School! Two incredible pieces written by our students — one current 8th grader and one alum — were published today in the Prizmah Journal.

Rafi Kessler (‘25) reflects on navigating Jewish pluralism and finding his place at Shefa. ? Micki Appel (‘23) shares how Shefa gave her the tools, mindset, and self-advocacy skills to thrive, even in her AP courses! Their words say it best: [Rafi] https://lnkd.in/eabQTkTF?
