The journey

A two-year process, school by school

We don't run a workshop and leave. Over two years, we walk alongside your manchim, teachers, and students — here's what a year with us looks like.

One year in the program

Repeats in Year 2
All year long
After the two years

The cohort ends. The growth doesn’t.

Graduating schools join RESHET and keep deepening their skills. With the foundation of the two-year cohort, educators can go on to Lifnai Vlifnim’s more advanced fellowships and programs.

Growing cohort by cohort
Cohort VII opens February 2027

Every cohort’s schools stay connected through RESHET, so each new cohort builds on the last.

Building leaders in schools

Culture change starts with the people who lead it

We see the manchim — each school's facilitators — as playing the most significant role in building the new culture of avodat Hashem we hope to achieve. Strengthening a cohort of leaders across schools builds the buy-in and commitment that real change requires.

We build four things in every manchim we train — so they can bring them home and lead the work in their own schools.
