Shield of David is offering a 6-week course to provide Jewish students with spiritual, mental, and physical training to transform them into modern-day Maccabees. The course consists of short, 10-minute videos on Jewish pride and antisemitism followed by 50-minute Krav Maga (self-defense) training. After completing the program, students graduate and become members of Shield of David.
Shield of David sponsors the cost of the course, but you are welcome to charge students a fee to join, which can go directly to your Chabad House. A minimum of 16 (and a maximum of 20) students must take two courses per semester.
For more information or to apply for this program, email Rabbi Mendel Polichenko (Chabad Carmel Valley) at [email protected] or call him at 858-333-4613.
Rabbi Yisroel Wilhelm (University of Colorado) ran this program on his campus and is happy to answer any questions from Campus Shluchim. Contact him at [email protected].
