Despite Fears, School Year Begins in Ashkelon

Ashkelon’s school year started under the shadow of numerous rocket attacks from Gaza over the summer vacation, and fears of what the future has in store.

At Chabad of Ashkelon’s schools, a large part of the first day was dedicated to emergency drills in the case of missile attacks.

The schools’ staff and children practiced repeatedly to ensure that everyone reached the protected areas within 25 seconds.

After much practice, the goal was reached.

The School year started with a minimal amount of complications, in spite of the fact that there were many obstacles getting everything ready as a result of the security situation.

Boruch Hashem, there has been considerable growth in the number of children studying in the Chabad Schools, with the student body numbering about 1,650 children this coming school year.
