Summer Student Spotlight: AMIT Florin Taman Tzfat

Neoray Kaholy, a rising 9th grader at AMIT Florin Taman High School for Boys in Tzfat, has been a counselor with Krembo Wings for the past two years. When asked who inspired him at AMIT, he replied: “Rav Eldad, who is my homeroom teacher, really inspires me. I grew up with the idea that serving God was all about learning, learning, learning. Rav Eldad, with all his energy, taught me that you can also serve God through doing, and always being happy. To be happy from nothing and everything.”

How does a schoolteacher convey a values-based education? Subjects such as math are governed by indisputable numbers, equations, and figures, whereas a lesson in values requires a different approach. We have been focusing on students and how they implement AMIT’s idea of chessed and community during their summer vacations, by volunteering in many different capacities. But where are they learning their values? One answer is by watching their teachers act as role models, in and out of the classroom.

“We’re on the way to the hospital to deliver games and breakfast, and to bring some joy.”

For nearly all of us and in one way or another, Covid devoured the last year of our lives. Incorporating chessed, or care and concern for community is a principle of education at AMIT schools that had to be adjusted to fit the environment in which we all now live.
