| inSIGHT Through Education Absorbs the HEAL ProgramHEAL, founded by Jack Rosenbaum, will now operate as a core program under the inSIGHT umbrella, expanding its reach and impact in advancing Holocaust education, fostering understanding, and promoting kindness while countering antisemitism and all forms of hate. The HEAL program empowers teens in Palm Beach County and beyond to learn from the personal histories of Holocaust Survivors. The program's unique model begins with the nomination of students who have demonstrated leadership potential. Participants then attend weekend clinics, where they hear Survivor testimonies and develop leadership and advocacy skills. The program culminates with students designing and delivering original Holocaust education projects for their schools. "Integrating HEAL into inSIGHT Through Education is a powerful step forward in our mission," said Board President of inSIGHT Through Education Kelly Warsaw. "HEAL's innovative approach—educating students through Survivor testimony, leadership development, and advocacy—perfectly complements inSIGHT's work in schools. Together, we are expanding our reach, deepening our impact, and empowering the next generation to stand up against hate." Warsaw added, "HEAL has built a powerful extracurricular program that equips middle and high school students to learn from Holocaust Survivors, develop leadership skills, and take meaningful action in their schools. As part of inSIGHT, HEAL participants will also serve as student ambassadors— Both organizations are confident that this strategic alignment will enhance the quality and reach of their educational programs, thereby better facilitating inSIGHT Through Education's mission of creating a more understanding and compassionate world.
