Active Engagement in Our Community and Beyond

Shalhevet encourages its students to think beyond themselves and take an active role in contributing to the common good of our Shalhevet community and the world at large. Dedicated to chesed in all forms, students advocate for meaningful causes, volunteer their time, and learn to become positive leaders and global citizens.

Cultivating a Community of Chesed at Annual Fair

Our annual Chesed Fair streamlined students’ exploration of various avenues of giving, beginning the school year with our eyes and hearts on those who need us.

Organizations like Chai Lifeline, Sharsheret, Yachad LA, ORA, and OBKLA presented their missions to students, offering pathways to get involved and give back.

School-Wide Learning and Chesed Before Yom Kippur

The day before Yom Kippur, the Shalhevet community gathered for Torah learning and all-out chesed, with each grade working alongside a different community organization. Before the year’s holiest day, we spent the day connecting to others and to God.

Celebrating Thanksgiving With Food Bank and Clothing Drives

On the day before Thanksgiving Day, we organized food bank and clothing drives with the Shalhevet community in action. In appreciation of the blessings in our lives, we celebrate by practicing gratitude and giving in the community.

Enjoying Donuts and Dancing at Annual Chanukah Week

We make sure to use every day of Chanukah for communal celebration and festivity. Our week-long programming imbued each day with deep meaning that is uplifted by our Chanukah Chagigah, filled with music, carnival games, and “The Rif,” our student band.
