One picture paints a thousand words…But nevertheless, we have decided to tell you about the new photography major at Migdal Ohr’s Shalhevet School

As part of this major, the girls learn about the language of photography and gain experience in practical photography, which expresses their inner world. The curriculum enables them to voice their opinions, share and tell their story, through the photography medium.

In this major, the girls find a place for experiential, emotional and social expression, to voice their opinions and to get a message across using visual tools.  It encourages them to address issues that interest them, that they care about, or that they have experienced themselves.  This is another tool that Migdal Ohr offers the girls in order to develop an ability to honestly and openly express their feelings and thoughts, verbally and visually.

The Shalhevet School was established by Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman for teenage girls at-risk.  The school provides the pupils with support, knowledge and the tools to change their life’s trajectory for the good.

Zoharim Youth Village’s 11th graders went on a challenging trek in the desert, to discover their untapped hidden strengths and competence

Currently, the Zoharim Youth Village 12th  graders are on a 5-day challenging trek in the desert.  They will walk 72 kilometers and be forced to cope with the desert and its challenges by themselves.

This trek helps the pupils get to know the Negev, with their feet, and to get to know their ability to cope with challenges and difficulties that they often avoid in their daily lives.

During the first day, the boys learned to read a map and the stars, to navigate, light a fire, cook and find shelter; and later on in their journey, they will cope with the desert using their own strengths.

The trek consists of powerful experiences, does not allow them to run away from or avoid coping; and the boys cope with various difficulties, both physical, emotional and social.

Thanks to the intensive coping, the boys begin to recognize their hidden strengths and sense of competence.  The trek requires them to make a change from dependency to independence, where at the end, they will discover how much they can succeed in charting their life trajectory on their own.

Zoharim Youth Village pupils set out on an important and educational tour of the Gaza Envelope and witnessed the difficult sights of the October 7th massacre from up close. They met the heroes, civilians and soldiers, who defended the residents of the Gaza Envelope with their bodies, saving people and protecting the homeland.  The pupils, who are just about to enlist in the IDF, returned from this tour imbued with motivation after hearing the heroic stories of our soldiers, proud of the mutual responsibility that took place on the terrible Shabbat, but mostly, they were infused with a real love of Israel.
