Shliach Rabbi Menachem Kurtzweil, an experienced educator and therapist, was invited to Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim in Antwerp, Belgium to lead and guide a series of fun and meaningful workshops on interpersonal communication, social interaction and emotional development.
As someone who has years of experience in Chinuch, Rabbi Kurtzweil saw the need, and being a therapist he decided to build a series of unique innovative workshops.
Chabad of Antwerp, led by Shliach Rabbi Shabtai Slavatitzky, hosted this workshop that took place at the yeshiva led by Rabbi Mendel Tevardowitz. The experiential workshop focused on chassidishe ideas, integrating practical social and emotional skills from the therapy world.
“We got to see and feel the quality of the Temimim here during the time we worked on group formation, and there is definitely motivation and need for more workshops of this kind,” Kurzweil said. “There is no doubt that those unique and special kids are the results of the great investment and Mesirus Nefesh of the Shluchim where they are from.”
“It’s exciting to see happy Bochurim who are kind to their friends and have great values,” said Rabbi Tevardowitz.
