Description

Jerusalem’s Mercaz L’Mida Dati Learning Center (“Meled”) has been transforming lives of youths and restoring families for over twenty years. Not At Risk tells its story in the words of its founders, and details groundbreaking educational work, sharing not only experiences and insights of faculty members and parents, but heartwarming, and at times deeply painful, personal stories of former students. In addition to his professional experience in child development, Dr. Menachem Gottesman drew upon three main sources to create a healing educational environment for youth labelled “at risk”: A.S. Neill’s philosophy of education, the therapeutic method developed by Dr. Milton H. Erickson, and the spiritual outlook of Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik. Not At Risk shares the secret of Meled’s success. Open-minded educators, professionals working with adolescents, and concerned parents will find this book an invaluable resource.
