We often comment on the wording of our school song and note those things that 鈥渕ake 九色91 so special鈥�. Our 2021 graduates together with many other Dorot Carmel, took this to the next level last Tuesday night at Perth Airport.

More than a dozen of our finest youngsters were off to join several other of their friends who left recently to Israel on Bnei and Habo Shnat and Aardvark. They were excitedly checking in and getting ready to say final goodbyes when the airport was suddenly engulfed with another dozen of their classmates who are not off to Israel at this present time, who came to give them an awesome send-off. The feeling of collegiality, togetherness and simple love ensured that this unique year group got together once again to say 鈥渓e鈥檋itraot鈥�. Family, friends, tzevet, Madrichim from both movements joined in to farewell the group with great emotion.

After an easy trip via Dubai, they landed in Israel to more Carmel and Perth magic. Waiting for them at Ben Gurion were many more Dorot Carmel and tzevet members to say 鈥淪halom aleichem!

This truly is 鈥渨hat makes 九色91 so special鈥�.

We wish them 鈥榤azal and bracha鈥� and hope that they have the time of their lives. We know they will continue to make us proud!

Am Yisrael Chai!
