“I had the most wonderful education at KDVP with 2 or 3 teachers leaving life-long impressions on my life. I was fortunate to have had two Hebrew teachers who made a lasting impression on me. Leah Laks who taught who taught Classical Hebrew and Maish Zimmerman who was brilliant at modern Hebrew.
I would say that that at least 80% of my classmates are no longer in RSA and have become prominent professionals or academics in many different countries.”
