Emotion and Celebration at “Tzofiya” School’s Siddur Ceremony as Top Bnei Brak Education Officials Visit

This week, “Tzofiya” School, part of the Ohel Sarah education network, held a festive and moving siddur ceremony with the participation of the students, their family members, the school staff, and senior officials from the Education Department of the Bnei Brak Municipality. The event, which marked a significant milestone for the students, also gave educators and parents an opportunity to note the school’s success in its first year of operation.

“Tzofiya” was established as a unique solution for girls with learning disabilities, a population that for many years had not had a suitable educational framework in the city. Among those present at the event were Rabbi Moshe Rozental, head of the Education Administration in the Bnei Brak Municipality; Rabbi Shimi Kashash, deputy head of the Education Department and chairman of Program 360; Rabbi Shmuel Dadon, head of the licensing department for educational institutions; Rabbi Yosef Stahl, head of the kindergartens department; and Ms. Bella Rubin, head of the special education department, who worked to advance the establishment of the framework.

Speaking at the event, Rabbi Moshe Rozental emphasized the importance of the school for the city’s students and said, “The ‘Tzofiya’ school provides a response that was missing for many years. We see here tremendous investment, professionalism, and extraordinary dedication from the school staff, who work day after day to enable every student to progress, succeed, and fulfill her abilities.”

At Ohel Sarah, they note that during its first year of operation, the school proved its necessity and success, and already ahead of the 5787 school year it is expected to expand significantly, from one class this year to four classes, due to growing demand from many families seeking to join the framework.

Ohel Sarah director Malka Weinberg said, “The siddur ceremony is an emotional moment for every student and every family, and it symbolizes the significant path the school has taken in its first year of activity. To see the students progressing, succeeding, and flourishing is our great privilege. We will continue to invest and provide every student with the professional and emotional support she needs.”

Ms. Shuli Klein, the school principal, said, “The siddur ceremony is the peak of a professional and meaningful process the students underwent לאורך the year. Thanks to dedicated teamwork and precise adaptation to each student’s needs, we were able to see impressive achievements that were beyond expectations. The greatest excitement for us is seeing the mothers and families celebrate together with the girls the success and sense of competence they have acquired.”
