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:
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
““We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
