In 21 years since my first flight to Israel, first time I’ve ever heard a flight atttendent make an announcement for maariv with a location, rules and encouraging people not to create a chilul hashem… do you think people listened to the rules?
Working with 13 schools through our Lifnai Vlifnim program, it has been incredible to see how a new way of learning, thinking and being can impact teachers, students and school culture.
Here a few comments from students who spent a year engaged in "prayerful conversations"-
DM me if you are interested in learning more about Lifnai Vlfinim, you can read the article in the comments. Educators can still sign up for our Summer Seminar with Rav Yishai Singer in Teaneck this Wednesday and Thursday!

1/4 Thank you @DBashIdeas and @18_forty for sharing Rav Dov and his torah with more of the English speaking world! Similar to Maury Rosenfeld, my work with Rav Dov and his son Rav Yishai over the past five years has been personally transformative.
@relreiner@relreiner it may be ptsd from those days but I still feel like someone's judging my frumkeit when I celebrate yom haatzmaut. There are definitely mixed messages (or silence sending messages) in our community.
Just one of the incredible moments I had the privilege facilitating this week at the Lifnai Vlifnim seminar. Thanks to @DBashIdeas for joining! Look forward to sharing the full recording soon.
“In life we have 2 axises—x and y. X axis moves horizontally taking us through life and our responsibilities. But we another axis: the “why” axis that moves vertically and grounds our lives with purpose and intention.”
What a privilege to sit in conversation with Rav Dov Singer
We are excited to invite educators to the annual Lifnai V'Lifnim Global Winter Seminar with Rav Dov and Yishai Singer! This year's theme is מבדידות להתחברות: Strengthening Connections in School. Register at https://t.co/K4EQCTRVO7 or Rabbi Yehuda Chanales @chanales for more info.
It was a pleasure hosting eight incredible students from @YUNews’ MafTeach School Community Fellowship. This was the first of the fellows’ three visits, and we look forward to welcoming this amazing group of young men and women back to Kohelet Yeshiva later in the year!
