Kehillah High’s goal is for our teens to become inspired and engaged lifelong learners, committed to living a Jewish life, guided by Jewish values and tradi- tions as expressed in our diverse and pluralistic Jewish world. “Kehillah High is truly a place for every Jewish teen, because no matter our differences or quirks or whatever, we are all Jewish and leading the Jewish JHV: MICHAEL C.

We at the Olympic Committee of Israel have joined the call made by Dr. Thomas Bach, President of the Olympic Movement, to reduce gender gaps in sport and to strive for equality between the genders through commitment and responsibility, by making an influence and serving as an example to sport organizations in Israel. As early as 2018, equality was implemented in effect in the Youth Olympic Games which took place in Argentina, and the Tokyo Olympic Games (2021) will show far reaching changes with female representation aspiring to equality. In the Paris Olympic Games (2024) 50% of participating athletes in the Olympic Games will be females.
