One of the questions we hear every year is, “So…what do you do ALL ...summer?”

The short answer: a lot.

Summer is when the work that makes the school year possible begins to take shape…from big-picture planning to the details that bring every classroom and space to life…all in preparation for another year of learning, growth, and community.

What makes Israeli shlichim such a powerful force in Jewish education?

... In this Lookstein Center interview, Rabbi Krauss reflects on the impact shlichim have had at SAR, strengthening Hebrew immersion, deepening students' connections to Israel, and enriching school life far beyond the classroom.

"One of the things that I really see as important is the attitude that we are both going to learn from each other."
