WDS turned green in solidarity with our brave IDF Chayalim!

Our entire school was filled with green today as students proudly dressed in the color to show support for the brave chayalim (soldiers) of the IDF. Thanks to the creative vision of our incredible shlichot Meitav and Nitzan, the main hallway was transformed into an IDF army base, providing an immersive experience that brought our students closer to Israel and its courageous defenders.

From navy to infantry to air force, every detail reflected different divisions of the IDF, offering students a chance to learn and connect in a hands-on way. The experience was made even more meaningful as the entire school—whether in classrooms, the lunchroom, or hallways—joined together with Rabbi Klinger to recite the tefillah for the safety of the IDF and sing Hatikvah. 

For students in grades 2-4, the day included a special Tzahal boot camp, where they engaged in activities inspired by real training exercises.

This meaningful initiative not only honored our heroes but also strengthened our students’ connection to Medinat Yisrael, reinforcing our shared responsibility as Am Yisrael.

A heartfelt thank you to Meitav and Nitzan for their dedication in making this impactful day possible!
