White Sail Program Visits Heschel High School
Members from the White Sail Program, a leadership program for disabled Israeli veterans, visited Heschel High School. One representative spoke at the weekly Hachanah L’Shabbat about his experience returning to Israel to reenlist in the IDF upon hearing the news on October 7. After Hachanah, seniors broke into groups and had the opportunity to hear from more soldiers and how they are healing from trauma and adversity of war, and carrying that with them to become the next generation of resilient, committed, and values-driven leaders of Israeli society.
