First publication: Hundreds of immigrant children who come to Israel are referred by the authorities to secular schools. This is the warning of Chabad and Shuvu activists who are involved in educating the children of the Soviet Union. “For every child who immigrates to Israel, there is a real battle, where a child can study.”
Why is it important to cooperate with the seventh census of Israel?
In recent days, hundreds of immigrants from Ukraine have arrived in Israel, and they have been housed in various cities throughout the country, including the Galilee landscape.
Unfortunately, officials in municipalities across Israel are referring children to secular schools.
It so happened that in the Galilee landscape, a group of families from Ukraine, whose children attended the schools of the Or Avner network operated by Chabad in the former Soviet Union, were referred to secular public schools – instead of the local Shuvu school.
“A Chabad emissary who brought these families to the Galilee landscape literally cried when he saw his efforts for rapprochement go down the drain for many years,” the activists tell Haredim10.
The leaders of Shuvu, who are among the Lithuanian public, mobilized – and were immediately held in cooperation with Chabad activists.
“We sent Shuvo activists to the hotels where the refugees are stationed,” Shuvo says. “They met with the families, talked to them about the importance of education, and put a lot of effort into convincing them to register their children for ‘return’.”

The efforts bore fruit. The first group of Ukrainian immigrant children did arrive at Shuvu Nof Hagalil.
Shuvo and Chabad declare that they intend to fight, with unique cooperation, for every Jewish child who comes to Israel, in order to refer him to a traditional Jewish education.
