“I grew up in a family that strongly believes in the values represented by Herzog. Together with my husband, a Herzog graduate, my siblings, parents, and grandmother, we come together each summer to learn Tanakh at Herzog. It is a truly special and meaningful experience to connect the generations through a passion for learning and Tanakh scholarship, and we look forward to it each year.”
