 The Instructive and the Experiential
The school year has ended and we have much to be proud of. Rav Soloveitchik notes that the institution of Torah reading has a dual purpose. On the one hand, Torah reading serves the purpose of instructing us about the mitzvot that we need to understand in order to perform. Torah reading also serves the purpose of recreating the experience of ma'amad Har Sinai and instilling in us a sense of our encounter with God. These two functions of Torah reading- the instructive and the experiential, are the two functions of schooling at YHS. We aim to teach students information, to impart knowledge and to develop critical thinking and analytical skills. We also seek to develop meaningful religious and growth opportunities that promote and nurture our encounter with Hashem, recognizing that education is about much more than the acquisition of knowledge. Thank you to all of the staff members and all of the students for engaging in the learning process with gusto over the course of the year. Enjoy the summer. The next school year is just 10 weeks away!
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach,
Rabbi Jonathan Kroll
Head of School
