ISRAEL [CHI] — It is no coincidence that Mrs. Rivkah Denberg, from Coral Springs Fl, Mrs. Devorah Kornfeld of Seattle WA, Mrs. Chanie Nemes from Metrairie LA, and Mrs. Sora Strauss, from Brooklyn NY, all mechanchos in Chabad schools, find themselves in an ELAL flight to Israel, along with 20 other Chabad teachers. They are all participants in the Holocaust seminar sponsored cooperatively by the Merkos Chinuch Office and Yad Vashem.
Chabad Educators Hold Conference in Yad Vashem
ISRAEL [CHI] — It is no coincidence that Mrs. Rivkah Denberg, from Coral Springs Fl, Mrs. Devorah Kornfeld of Seattle WA, Mrs. Chanie Nemes from Metrairie LA, and Mrs. Sora Strauss, from Brooklyn NY, all mechanchos in Chabad schools, find themselves in an ELAL flight to Israel, along with 20 other Chabad teachers. They are all participants in the Holocaust seminar sponsored cooperatively by the Merkos Chinuch Office and Yad Vashem.
For 9 days they will be the guests of Yad Vashem which has tailored a seminar to meet the educational background and erudition of an elite group of mechanchos. They will hear lectures, tour and visit and will hopefully, come back to their respective schools with the educational tools necessary to teach their students about the darkest period of our history.
The seminar was organized by the Merkos Chinuch Office and Rabbi Nochem Kaplan and his wife will be accompanying the mechanchos on their adventure.
The fact is that there is coordinated approach for teachers to follow when attempting to teach about the Holocaust and leaving as sensitive an issue as the Holocaust to child to learn through discovery is fraught with danger. The Rebbe taught that the ultimate purpose of all education is that what we learn should both enlighten and serve to positively influence our lives as people and especially as Jews. The objective of the seminar and the curriculum development which will follow is to actualize this fundamental approach, even when dealing with a subject as sensitive as the foremost horror in our history.

Also: Chabad Lubavitch isblessed to have Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, who had the wisdom and foresight to ask Rabbi Kaplan to head up the Merkos Chinuch office and fund its costs.
The two are a powerful duo for the benefit of Jewish education.

MAYBE
To #7 – MAYBE it’s a little cool there, so folding your hands warms you up a bit!
To #13 – MAYBE the reason Rivkah Denburg is not in any of the pictures, is that she is the one who took all these lovely pictures!
