Wishing You a New Year of Intention, Community, and HEALTH

With the most significant Jewish holidays taking place in October, this month naturally lends itself to reflection, intention-setting, and renewal — perfectly aligning with the start of a new school year filled with growth and learning.

October is likely to bring a wide range of emotions for our community, and, as always, Heilicher will be here as a steady source of support and compassion, keeping our students’ and families’ well-being at the center of everything we do.

As we reflect and look inward during these days, finding ways to cope with grief and trauma is essential.
