Rabbi Hirsch values and principles and McKinsey 7 S model. Past and Future in Israeli School Management

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the relevance of Rabbi Hirsch religious values and principles of school management formulated in the 19th century based on the Tora teachings to today’s school management practice and realities of the 21st century. His main shared value standing in the center of its approach is “Loving one’s fellow and human dignity. It is important to recognize the love, dignity and honor that people give and share with us. Dignity is a precondition for a “happy life.” The fundamental rule is that, in effect, teaching has to be presented to the students as an activity arising from a moral obligation, and acquisition of education arises from a moral, not a selfish, aspiration, otherwise moral education would not succeed. Based on these we discuss the management of an existing school using the 7S model of McKinsey applied in the case of Israeli schools.
