| 5 I go to school here, and it is wonderful! No bullies, an excellent education at all levels/experiences and the friendliest staff you have ever known. They aren't loose, but they aren't strict. It's wonderful here! Come, be a part of my kehilah (community)! - Posted by Student/Alumni - Kehilah Kid |
