"The educational encounter at the Israel Center enables leaders to impact both the Jewish and Christian communities of faith in practical ways to form friendships and to build meaningful relationships for a much better future."

I am well acquainted with Dr. Shapiro and the Israel center. I have had direct experience with her teaching, her educational program, and her students. I would recommend her teaching and the program of study that she has developed without reservation. Everyone who goes through this hands on training experience will come out a better person. The educational encounter at the Israel Center will  enable leaders to impact both the Jewish and Christian communities of faith in practical ways to form friendships and to build meaningful relationships for a much better future. The Israel Center creates a unique learning experience which is unparalleled anywhere. Fresh opportunities emerge from new friendships. Without a doubt, this is a hidden treasure of the Holy Land that will enrich both first time travelers to Israel and the veteran who has made many pilgrimages. Everyone will experience the trip of a lifetime. The lifelong learner will find true fulfillment.
