Samuel Helfont (New Jersey):
"Barkai is a beautiful green kibbutz and a wonderful place to escape the stresses of city life.
I have nothing but good things to say about Givat Haviva’s Arabic Institute. Along with providing and outstanding academic program, it allows its students to meet and develop relationships with Israel Arabs. This is true Zionism: pluralist, liberal, and with Israel’s best interest at heart."
