Orot Israel College's Elkana Campus Library is being prepared for the upcoming academic year where hybrid learning will take place.
This course is the first of its kind in Israel and took place at the Orot Israel College in Elkana, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Division for the Supervision of Dance.
A personal message from Nomi Spanglet, Director of Resource and Development at Orot Israel College, "Rav Shvat's dedication to his students and to Torah learning is something that cannot adequately be put into words."
The introductory stage for teaching is always a very significant stage for new teachers. Alongside the great enthusiasm that they experience, they face many challenges. And when their internship year happens during the COVID-19 crisis the challenge is doubled.
Growing up I was a huge Zionist, but the Torat Eretz Yisrael that I learned in Orot classes and on many of our tiyulim shaped my whole approach to Judaism and Jewish identity. At Orot I really internalised that the two were inseparable, and I knew that my future had to be in Israel.
The graduation show of fourth-year students in the Dance and Movement Track at Orot Israel College took place this year in a unique format due to COVID-19 regulations - in an open space in the pool at Orot Israel College's Elkana campus.
How can students be allowed to experience teaching when schools due to COVID-19 were closed during the lockdowns or operated in small, closed capsules? Racheli Bartov - Coordinator of the Teaching Entry Unit, Orot Israel College, Elkana
