Our community

She'erit Yisrael means “the remnant of Israel.” Our congregation keeps Shabbat, the festivals, and the mitzvot according to halacha, and gathers in Putti for tefillah and Torah learning.

Draft: Enosh to write the community's story in his own words: how the community began, its path to Orthodox practice, and daily life today.

The Jonathan Netanyahu Memorial Primary School

Students in crocheted kippot crowd in front of the school, behind a hand-painted sign reading Jonathan Netanyahu Memorial Primary School, Putti.

The school carries the name of Yoni Netanyahu, who fell leading the rescue at Entebbe in 1976. Today it is where Putti's children learn to read, write, and daven.

Draft: number of students and grades, teachers, what a typical day includes, and the school's most pressing needs (fees, books, meals, building).
