“I have always had a special place for King David in my heart, and I will forever be grateful for my education there, which provided the foundation for my academic pursuits at University and beyond. The lessons of compassion, kindness and fairness that were taught so tenderly at King David in my formative years have colored my life’s outlook forever, and have given me a strong sense of self and Jewish identity that remains alive within in me”.
