If you are lucky enough to visit Jerusalem, let me suggest that you stay at the Mamilla Hotel. Straddling the neighborhood between the Old City and the bustling downtown center of Jerusalem, the Mamilla Hotel can only be described as luxurious hipster minimalism.
If you prefer the more dreadfully generic decor of, let’s say, a Sheraton, then the Mamilla isn’t for you....

As Shalhevet students, do we care about how we look? We all want to feel comfortable, but have we blurred the line between comfy-and-cute and lazy-and-baggy?
When it’s time to get dressed in the morning, it would seem that that most girls are choosing their outfit without much thought.

The leap from middle school to high school can be nerve-wracking. Relax. You have already survived eight years of first-day-of-school jitters. You can also take comfort in knowing that Shalhevet is a small school (we have one hallway) where we all can find a way to fit in.
