AMIT Welcomes Students Back to School, Slowly, Safely

AMIT Students Honor Israel’s Fallen During Yom Hazikaron

AMIT Joins Nation, World for Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day
Yom HaShoah in Israel was marked on Tuesday with the traditional sounding of a two-minute long siren when all stop and remember the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis, and honor those who survived the horror. Because of the current coronavirus pandemic and restrictions on gatherings, this year’s usual well-attended ceremonies, including those at the AMIT schools, took place virtually. While the memorials may have gone online, they were no less poignant and heartfelt.
