Today we had the privilege of hearing from Yoel Levy, Yoel shared his inspiring journey of overcoming learning and speech difficulties to become a confident public speaker and passionate spokesperson for Am Yisrael, both on social media and at events around the world.
He spoke to the learners about resilience, reminding them not to compare themselves to others, but rather to focus on doing their own personal best.
Yoel also shared that his greatest inspiration is his sister, Hannah, whose determination and perseverance in the face of her own challenges continue to motivate him every day. Her attitude of never giving up has had a powerful impact on his life.
The children were encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and embrace challenges - just as Yoel does when he runs marathons dressed in a Batman costume!
Thank you to Herzlia Weizmann for including us in this inspiring and meaningful experience.
Hatzlacha, Yoel Levy - the PJ family is right behind you every step of the way!
Our PJ family came together for our annual Generation Sinai and Shavuot Shuk! ๐ธ๐โจ
From Playgroup to Grade 6, learners, parents, and grandparents joined together in meaningful Torah learning ahead of Shavuot, celebrating the beauty of learning across generations.
The morning ended on a delicious note with our vibrant Shavuot Shuk, where community members sold a variety of scrumptious treats and goodies. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event so special! ๐๐พ๐ฐ

Our forest school weaves our curriculum into outdoor play by using nature as the classroom. Kids learn early numeracy, shapes, and colours by counting, sorting, and comparing natural materials through hands-on activities. It builds foundational skills while sparking curiosity and problem-solving through real, tangible experiences.
What a blessing to be spending our mornings in nature. Right on our doorstep.
