More than 700 Steinberg alumni are expected to return for 50th Anniversary activities on June 8th at the residence, which enables talented students from the periphery to attend leading high schools in Kfar Saba and Ra’anana.
There will be mini-class reunions, the debut of a new video to commemorate the 50th, and live music, with some performances by Steinberg alumni bands.
One highlight will be the announcement of a pledge toward the renovation of the dining hall by the grandchildren of the resident's founding benefactors, Sol and Betty Steinberg. Learn more here.

Jafra Young Leadership Program a "Rousing Success"
|
|
“The first year of the Jafra Young Leadership Program in Sakhnin was a rousing success,” said Eitan Moran, Executive Director of the Society for Advancement of Education (SAE) in Israel.
In the Leadership Program 22 young Arab girls and boys meet twice a week and go through an educational process with the goal of increasing their self-awareness and sense of belonging, and acquiring social and leadership skills, through social action, and preparation for studying in institutions of higher education.
“We have many other municipalities requesting their own programs next year, Eitan reports. "We will expand as quickly as our funding will allow."
Donate to support the program.

Catholic Teacher Spends Yom Hashoah at the Boyar School
|
|
Rosie Sanalone, a middle school teacher at the Summit Country Day School, an independent Catholic K-12 school in Cincinnati, Ohio, spent April 24, 2017 celebrating Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) at the Boyar School in Jerusalem.
"As I experienced the ceremony," Rosie wrote,"I was moved and inspired by the students – the grace and poise with which they read and sang; the authentic respect of the audience; the conceptual journey of the program; and the emotional effect it had on all those present."
The detailed blog of Rosie's impressions of the Boyar School and her home visit with a Holocaust survivor make fascinating reading (Rosie is at left in photo above, with two students and Ruth Berlinger, a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto who shared her amazing story).
Enjoy.
