A twelfth grade conversational Hebrew class at SAR High School met an Israeli MD in an online conference conversation. Before meeting Dr. Speier they learned different phrases and a wide vocabulary that revolved around medical assistance and health. They also learned about the difference between the Israeli and American health systems. It was the climax of a learning process and the students were very excited to meet a professional who answered their questions seriously.

This class was done as a partnership with an organization called “Lir’ot Olam.” They bring professionals and experts on Jewish topics, science, languages, social studies, history and more to classes as part of the organization’s pedagogy. They create an interactive classroom of learning between students and these professionals. It was a great opportunity to enrich the class curriculum while bringing the real world of Israel to SAR students.

SAR is proud to be at the head of the frontier. SAR is the first school outside of Israel to collaborate with “Lir’ot Olam” and many schools have followed.
