A Jewish school in Palo Alto is receiving backlash from members of its community for dropping a key word from its name.
Everyone connected to The Kehillah School, from faculty to former students, has nothing but great things to say about it. 'We are a distinctly Jewish school. We are purposefully pluralistic and we are intentionally inclusive,' said Rabbi Dennis Eisner, the school's dean of Jewish life and philanthropy. 'It was top-tier academics. I had small classes.
Waisbein and close to 700 others connected to the school have signed a petition calling for the school to return to its previous name. He says it's especially important right now as the war between Israel and Hamas has put many Jewish communities on edge.
