Yeshiva High School educators work hard to cultivate solidarity with and connection to the State of Israel while educating towards a deep understanding of the complexities of the current situation. The past two years have been especially painful and challenging for the State of Israel and the Jewish people. The events of the last few months have further intensified the educational challenges. Moral, ethical, security, military, and diplomatic questions abound. How and to what extent should we engage our students in these matters?
