We’re always excited to meet good people doing good things, especially if it means we can work together to do even better things. This past month, our Special Education and Mental Health departments met with various government officials, organizations and professionals that aim, in their respective realms, to assist English speakers in Eretz Yisrael. We look forward to utilizing these newfound connections and friendships as we work together to better help the English speaking community.
