Honoring the Bibas Family with our Learners
We have held onto a glimmer of hope for the Bibas family for so long, praying for their safe return.
Now, with heavy hearts, we mourn the devastating loss of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir. The pain is deep, and for many of us, it is difficult to find the words to process this tragedy—especially when guiding children through it.
To help with these conversations, I’m sharing my illustrated response along with a simple template for children and students to express their thoughts, feelings, and actions. May this serve as a way to honor their memory and channel our grief into meaningful reflection and kindness.
