"My family and friends have toured Israel many times. Although we never obtained a command of Hebrew, we love to hear the language when we see Israeli films and TV shows. Jordan Rosenfeld provides our community with opportunities to experience Israeli culture here in North America and give us the essential context for really appreciating what we are watching."
