---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: jdbakst <jbakst@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Schools for English speaking teenagers? Hello, Please tell me what, if any, options are available in Israel for my son Akiva. He will be 15 in Sept. He has grown up in “modern orthodox” day schools when he was younger, but now we live in a town devoid of Jews. He has been in public school for the last 3 years. Akiva is bright, funny, artistic and into playing guitar (but not an intellectual). I would like to see him in some kind of boarding school in Israel that is observant or at least traditional and/or half religious/half secular. He has 3 very close family friends living in Israel (Tzefat, Yerushalaim and Zichron Yaakov) where he could stay for Shabbat, Chagim, etc. The problem is that he speaks NO Hebrew and can only read Hebrew with vowels but with no understanding. Do you have any suggestions of what is available in Israel for him for this coming school year? Thank you for your time, Joel Bakst ************************************** ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** David Lloyd: ETNI founder & manager http://david.greenlloyd.com ***************************************
