Education
"Kfar Chabad is particularly known for its vocational and technical schools. Established with separate classrooms and dormitories for boys and girls, these schools provide rigorous vocational training coupled with intensive religious study. Generally, boys specialize in printing, mechanics, carpentry, or agricultural work, and girls focus mainly on careers in education. Few of the youngsters who arrive at Kfar Chabad each fall from all over Israel are themselves Hasidim." Furthemore, "The Lubavitchers ... settlement in Israel has been a deliberate effort to reverse the modern trend toward Jewish assimilation."

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“It is not every man who can be a Christian, even in a very moderate sense, whatever education you give him. It is a matter of constitution and temperament, after all. He may have to be born again many times. I have known many a man who pretended to be a Christian, in whom it was ridiculous, for he had no genius for it. It is not every man who can be a free man, even.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all. If a man carries many such memories into life with him, he is saved for the rest of his days. And even if only one good memory is left in our hearts, it may also be the instrument of our salvation one day.”
—Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881)
“If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
