A group of Naaleh educators, including Tanach chair Dr. Danielle Bloom, and Assistant Principal Mrs. Elissa Chanales, as well as Mrs. Miriam Finkelstein, Mrs. Kayla Bluman and Mrs. Mimi Fuchs, recently joined 90 educators from North America and England at the Winter Conference for the Lifnai V’lifnim Program in Fort Lee. This intensive program supports schools with invaluable training in the Lifnai V’lifnim approach of developing a school culture of deeper connection and spiritual growth. Naaleh was also privileged to welcome Rav Dov Zinger, the rosh yeshiva of Makor Chaim Institutions, and Rabbi Yehuda Chanales, director of Lifnai V’lifnim Olami, to lead engaging sessions with their senior class and staff cohort, emphasizing the importance of navigating life’s uncertainties and bringing intentionality and heart into the classroom. With this training in the Lifnai V’lifnim program’s ethos, Naaleh continues to cultivate an environment where growth and connection are paramount.
