“I reflect fondly and with gratitude on my time at King David High School, Linksfield. I remain in close touch with many of my follow Davidians, many of whom are spread around the world. I believe that not only the excellence in academics, the high calibre of teachers and students, but also the strong sense of community and the school’s mission, including its care and compassion, contributed to my strong grounding as well as my love for Israel.
My Latin teacher of four years, “Doc” Thomas left an indelible mark. In a very small class, she taught her students how to think critically, regardless of the subject matter. Mr. Wolf, too, will always be remembered for his strong, yet fair and reasonable, leadership. It would be hard to find such a school anywhere else in the world”
