Knesset Yisrael: Jewish Peoplehood and the Power of School-Wide Themes
In this episode of The Grand Conversation, Rabbi Shmuel Hain sits down with Rabbi Tully Harcsztark and Ms. Shuli Taubes to explore SAR High School’s annual theme for the year: Knesset Yisrael — Jewish Peoplehood. Together, they take a deep dive into both the educational philosophy behind school-wide themes and the distinct resonance of Knesset Yisrael today.
