Who I am in 99 words
I married Hadar and happily raised my five children: Nehorai, Hoodia, Elia, Malachi, and Benjamin. I studied at the Western Wall Yeshiva, served in the Carob Battalion, with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education. I have been working for about ten years at the AMIT Eitan School in Ma’ale Adumim in various educational positions. I am currently an eighth grade head of the yeshiva path and middle school principal. A great believer in the children of Israel, in the future generation, the importance and mission of the role of education. I am thankful every day for the privilege of engaging in the value and spiritual growth and spiritual growth processes of the youth in the Holy Land, “renewing for good every day always,”- learning every day anew about the nature of education, teaching diversity and the different ways to reach every student.
I chose to be photographed with…
This box, which is a metaphor for the reality of our lives. Before the Corona, we grabbed a box. After that, we reinvented ourselves. Creative thinking outside the box, and it turns out it’s not as terrible as we thought. Teach differently, diversify the teaching and make it accessible to the learner in a different way. Meetings on the lawn and in the park have become a central educational axis and remain routine even the day after. As part of that, I had the privilege of going out with my students on bicycle trips that began even before dawn, with a coffee shop and life theory study.
One student – one story
D. studied with us in the educational community from seventh grade. He was full of love, but outwardly he went through difficult bouts, and there was not a week that they did not consider suspending him due to his behavior. I was privileged to educate him in the 11th and 12th grades. I was fascinated by his extraordinary personality, intertwined with boldness and leadership, and he was a housemate with us – Shabbats, Arabs, and Shahanshim. Today he studies in an important preparatory school—someone who will believe in them.
A true teacher
It is supposed to hold a lot of big and many things at the same time, all of them essential and necessary. When the network is leading and is the spearhead of education, a network teacher is supposed to produce a verbal and practical language of life theory a beating dog, extraction and excellence, value growth and connections in society, where innovation and creativity are constantly at the center of the action and all values are important, complementary and harmonious. Creative learner who gets everything from everything and in the right dose. This is a great line that makes the teacher a multi-talent in his field and requires a lot of talent, learning, and professional development.
My dream as a teacher
Create an individual or group learning platform, face-to-face voluntarily in the community, so that every learner, at any age, can join a private lesson on a vast platform that will include volunteer teachers and retirees who are interested in continuing to teach. It will have matriculation classes, remedial teaching for children, private lessons for the struggling, and enrichment. The classroom will run in the afternoon and become the center of the community until the wee hours of the night. I am convinced that every teacher will be willing to volunteer for one hour a week, and the total hours will be a solution to the gaps in society.
I learned from my students in Corona
That there is nothing that stands in the way of desire. I am proud of them for learning during this period, and I am convinced that following the crisis, they have become bigger and better people. Also, it became clear to us that there is no substitute for interpersonal encounters. The closeness, humanity, warmth, and love in the physical meeting are more significant than any distance lesson.
