Unity Learning at Darchei School

Day after day, there is always a way.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

But there’s that road with potholes that cost you $500 in busted car tires.

And there’s that road on your commute that is consistently at a standstill.

And then… there is Wayz.

Talented Rabbis and CPDs (Co-Program Directors) Levi Druin and Lavi Klein are at the forefront of Wayz, Darchai Menachem’s revolutionary Enrichment Program. In honor of this year’s Hakhel theme, our dedicated CPDs have chosen unity-themed projects to enhance our students’ Jewish pride.

As a Hachana Li’yud Shvat, Darchai Menachem’s Wayz is proud to announce the launch of an original Campaign. In honor of, and in preparation for, Yud Shvat, our student body will collectively memorize the entire Hayom Yom. Each class will contribute to this goal, creating school wide unity. This project is in recognition of the well known directive of the Rebbe to join together and learn a sefer by heart.

As a point of concentration, the Hayom Yom catches two birds with one net. Firstly, it inspires a deep appreciation for purpose in each 24-hour increment of life. Secondly, the Hayom Yom is easily comprehensible in English, providing our students with attainable resources in an independent, efficient manner. Each student is encouraged to learn at his own pace, on his own time, and in his own way, adding valuable contribution to the mass effort.

Darchai Menachem is a school of individualistic attention given in a professional and mindful manner. Each of our students are unique; it is precisely each boy’s individuality that unites Darchai Menachem into the force of passionate and positive energy that we are known for. From the moment our students walk through the front door of our school’s threshold, they receive an education worthy of the royalty they are, as crucial members of the Jewish People.

So… why the name Wayz?

Every educator tries his or her hardest to educate the children under his or her care in the best way possible. But there isn’t a good way, or even a best way. There is only the child’s way.

And when the ride gets rocky…

Each of our students are empowered to never give up- there is always another way.

Wayz isn’t about the easier road. It is about the better road.

Yesterday, our phenomenal students have collectively memorized 214 Hayom Yom’s in ONE school day! It looks like we will be memorizing the Hayom Yom multiple times.
