Episode Notes

How to conduct school classes during a war? Yoel Russu does it, at his Makor HaTikvah school in the Israeli capital Jerusalem.

This Christian school is the only Christian school in the world that teaches in the Hebrew language. 

The school serves Christian families, not only those from Jewish backgrounds. There are even Arabic children attending the school.

The war that started on October 7th 2023, changed everything. Still, the school tries to make the best of it.

The main challenge at the moment is of practical nature: the building is too small for the 142 pupils.
