ABSTRACT
IF one wishes to find schools which combine studies with character-training to the fullest degree, the best examples are the Yeshivot on the one hand, and the Kibbutzim on the other, both types, incidentally, outside the ordinary school system. Both these types, too, show curricula integrated around a central idea—each in its own way. Both are regarded by many parents as giving the best education of their kind. Most Yeshivot and many Kibbutzim are boarding institutions, accepting students from all parts of the country. They are the ‘public schools’ (in the English sense) of Israel.
