The tragedies of October 7th completely upended our lives, especially the lives of our Israeli faculty who were inundated with group messages from friends and family about sirens, taking shelter, and prayers for the state of Israel.

In this episode, Dr. Weiss sat down with Michal Almalem, Bornblum's Jewish Studies Principal, and Rinat Kremer, Bornblum's 4th and 5th Grade Jewish Studies and Hebrew teacher, to take a look back at how everything has changed—from what and how they teach, how they interact with students, and the personal toll it took on them.

The overall message they instilled in Bornblum students? Hope and heroism.
