Hatiyul Hachi Shnati The Ultimate Trek

AMIT Bienenfeld Hevruta Yeshiva and Kollel at Kfar Batya has more than 140 students grades 9 to 12. A yeshiva boarding school, Hevruta, is, literally the last chance for boys who would otherwise end up dropping out of the Israeli school system. The educational approach at this special school is based on “Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory,” which posits that a person’s ability is comprised of many intelligences – not just the ones’ traditionally emphasized in Western-style education. Thus Hevruta offers majors in music, sports, environmental studies, animal therapy, subjects that are optional extracurricular activities in other schools. Hevruta puts the student back at the center of education and the Annual Tiyul (“The Ultimate Trek”) helps to reinforce the boys’ strong points and build positive self-image.
