What People Are Saying

“Children of diverse background can bridge this gap that we have today between how Israel is seen in the world, how education is taught in the school system, and how we can bring together some Jewish kids, some non-Jewish kids, Muslim kids, Christian – children from different backgrounds and provide a common learning thread”

“One of the really interesting things about Hebrew charter schools is where they chose their locations. The locations are very specifically put in these catchment areas where you’re going to get a real mix of religious backgrounds, of races, of socioeconomic backgrounds – and you put them together in this learning environment where they don’t have anything in common with each other, other than a language.”
– Funder

“When you see 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 of these kids getting together on stage and singing these beautiful songs in a language that to most of us is a foreign language, but to them it is a point of commonality and a bonding experience that they will never otherwise have an opportunity to get. You realize what can be accomplished.”
