Orot Hosts Yom Iyyun for Girls Serving in Sherut Leumi

On Wednesday, January 14, 09 (18 Tevet 5769) Orot held a Yom Iyyun for over 300 girls who serve during their Sherut Le'umi (Bat-Ami) in the field of educational on the topic of "Coping with Different Situations".
Rabbi Yona Goodman began the program with a lecture on "A Spiritual Look at the War in the South". Afterwards, the girls split into several workshops in the varied fields of studies: Bible, Oral Law, Communications, Dance, and Educational Counseling in Informal Education. Each workshop addressed the subject: How am I coping with…" The workshops, while very interesting, ended too quickly, revealing the need for additional days of study.
After lunch was served, the girls were invited to hear the fascinating one-man show of Mrs. Liat Stern that dealt with her way of coping with her difficult life.
The purpose of the study day, which was the second of ten designated study days for girls serving in National Service, is to break the routine of these young women who work so hard in daily life. These conferences give them the opportunity to reflect on issues that are close to their hearts, while exposing them to the skills that the Michlalah can offer them.
