WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ISRAEL SCHOOL
SARAH B. , NEW YORK
"We loved the Israel School course! Akiva is a fantastic teacher who clearly loves teaching and interacting. We learned so much about the culture and history of Israel and how to better defend Israel. We highly recommend Akiva and his courses to anyone looking to solidify their or their children's knowledge and understanding of Israel and Zionism."
KALANIT C. , ST. LOUIS
"Israel School was an amazing experience for us. We learned a lot about Israel from its ancient history, modern statehood, and culture today.
