After 17 days of war, schools reopened Monday morning in a number of communities where the IDF Homefront Command allowed a resumption of educational activities. Several municipalities enacted a phased reopening in line with Homefront Command directives, including Ma'ale Adumim. Ahead of the return to classes, Ma'ale Adumim Deputy Mayor Brenda Horwitz Prawer spoke with KAN's Naomi Segal about the considerations that went into the decision.
