It’s a rip-roaring tale. Beautiful princess saves her people! Palace intrigue! Failed assassination plots! The triumph of the underdog! So cinematic; so fun!

But the Purim story, as told in Megillat Esther (the Book of Esther) also provides a great opportunity to talk seriously about modern-day antisemitism.

Incidents of antisemitism can occur at unexpected moments and often when we least anticipate them. To experience hostility and discrimination from others because of religion, race, and/or ethnicity is traumatic for adults and children alike, and fear can make it hard to speak up and stand up for oneself. It’s a difficult topic to discuss, and for many of us, navigating this terrain feels daunting and explosive. How do we speak, whether in person or via social media, to family members, close friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and, most importantly, our children about such an ugly and painful subject? What is required for each of us to feel confident to enter this conversation and feel as if we are on sturdy ground?

Let’s face it, no one wants to have to tell their child that there are nasty people in the world who will try to hurt them just for being themselves. We raise our kids to be good people, mensches, to help and accept others, and to do the best they can to treat those around them fairly and with respect.

The purpose of ”Alma and the Lockdown Drill” is to explain to young students why we have security at their schools in a simple way, and to explain the procedures of a lockdown. Every school is unique, but the principles of a lockdown are universal. Lockdown drills are designed to allow students and teachers to practice how to barricade themselves inside a classroom. By practicing a lockdown, the students and teachers prepare themselves, so that they would be protected if they were to face an external threat.

The book contains work material and questions that help facilitate a discussion about lockdown procedures which are specific to your school. There are guidelines, both to generate discussion with students and to direct the teacher in how to conduct the drills. Before using the book and its materials, it is important that you know the school’s lockdown procedures. If your school does not have procedures yet, we recommend that you discuss the topic with management and develop your own approach.

“Not infrequently, we hear of cases where students and their teachers are required to quarantine in the home, following exposure to confirmed cases of the corona virus. It appears that we will be dealing with this situation for the foreseeable future. It engenders feelings of helplessness, a loss of control, and ongoing uncertainty, and as such is the cause of fears and worries. A direct and open conversation can be calming, gives security and provides a feeling that there is someone who can be relied upon.
As is always the case, but especially now, it’s very important to strengthen the connection between parents and their children, and to provide a feeling of safety and security as much as possible. Parents have a responsibility to explain the situation to their children and help them understand what is happening and the coping methods which they can use.”

The Corona period has been an opportunity for many students, teachers, parents, members of society
and community members to initiate and change their mindset and actions within the educational
context. Case stories from the field were the initial base from which assumptions and components were
extracted, from where the innovation and operating principles arose and were observed during this
period. The picture that became clearer revealed perceptions and assumptions that are not new in their
essence. The vast majority of the assumptions revealed have been part of the accepted educational innovation
discourse in recent years. The major difference is that these new-old assumptions were now put into
practice. There was now the possibility of putting into practice the massive words which we could only dream of
in the past.

As efforts to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus and stop the chain of infection continue, we are on the verge of a new year that will look different from the usual and familiar. At the same time, it is necessary to be precise with guidelines for intervening in situations of risk in general, and in situations of suicide in particular, in order to more appropriately manage the correct intervention. It is important to note that the principles of intervention are generic guidelines and each individual scenario should be evaluated individually for optimal results.

It is still unclear how long our educational system will be required to operate remotely. Thus, due consideration must be afforded to how our schools may best respond to the new circumstances created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, as we continue to struggle with infection, there are situations where one or both parents are ill. In less severe situations, the patients are isolated at home or in a hotel, but when their condition is more serious, they may be hospitalized. In the most severe cases, they may be in intensive care, under anesthesia, on respirators, and/or at risk of death

This briefing discusses delivering difficult news to students when they cannot be gathered in person at the school and will be meeting virtually. In this case, it is recommended that parents will be the first people to deliver the difficult news to their children. Parents will receive directions (written and through a virtual meeting)1 on how to deliver difficult news in this context. Following students’ conversations with their parents, school staff will conduct a group virtual meeting with the students. It is important to choose a virtual platform that will make participants comfortable

This briefing deals with delivering difficult news to students when it is not possible to open schools and gather students together. Initially, students should receive such news from their parents, who will receive instructions for doing so1 (either in a letter or a virtual meeting). In the second stage, shortly after parents deliver the news, there should be a virtual meeting for all students in the class, using a technological platform that allows for as convenient a conversation as possible.
