GUESTBOOK
2018/2019
Dear friends, the story of Ohr Torah is a miracle. Many times this light of transmission and pedagogy could have been extinguished. But its flame continues to burn even brighter every year. Last November's alumni evening will remain an unforgettable moment: the authenticity, warmth and dynamism of all those young people who wholeheartedly wish to support their school, Amir's voice, his artistic sincerity, the radiant faces of Yaacov and Yafa. Our former students expressed their deep gratitude to this school "unlike any other", which allowed them to pursue personal and professional paths that they did not even dare to consider at the beginning of their schooling. They all spoke of the values that had been transmitted to them by Ohr Torah: a deepattachment to the Torah and its teachings, a taste for effort, work and surpassing oneself. Today, they know it, this mindset is priceless! May we continue to pass it onto many more students to come.

e are at the dawn of a new year and it is for me a great
satisfaction to offer you this guestbook in order to share with you, both the great and the small moments of our school, of your school. This book will make you relive through images the story of the many adventures experienced by our students. When I say "our students", I am obviously also thinking of our alumni who play such a great role, the students of the Lev Tahor association who meet regularly in our walls, the members of the Kollel, our teachers and their daily commitment, and all the parents and friends who meet us at gatherings organized all over the world to help us pursue our mission. All of this would simply not be possible without your tireless help, without your deep commitment to our educational project. Know that every day we think of you, and every day you give us the energy to continue the task and to improve it. You can be proud of that. Thank you to all of you who surround us and make the Ohr Torah family grow larger every day!

Tutoring classes (A.P) work but in a relaxed atmosphere!

A.P class is the opportunity for each student to get involved and find their method to learn their subjects and do their homework, but not by themselves!
"I arrived in Ohr Torah in grade 10 thanks to my friends from Gan Rachi school and my family. I really want to thank them because I think it is the best choice I’ve ever made so far."
