Anna and Maria Hernandez graduated from Younited in June. Their energy, positivity, and contribution to the community are sorely missed. Please enjoy Anna’s recent Substack entry ‘Nothing like Studying in the Holy Land’.

For more than seven decades, Givat Haviva has provided educational programs aimed at developing a just, equal, and inclusive society. In 2018, we created GHIS as an educational incubator to develop leaders for the future of our world, the Middle East, and Israel—to help move from competition and struggle between nations to a shared, egalitarian society that operates in peace.
GHIS students study the complexity of global conflicts, the differences, and the similarities between them. They learn that individual identity can exist while accepting the identity of the other, and that conflict can be transcended through greater mutual understanding.
Our school draws on the insights of the IB program and the experience of our students from around the world, and supplements it with conflict resolution knowledge accumulated over more than 70 years in Givat Haviva. With this formula a responsible cohort of young people is being created that will one day lead our shared society.
As CEO of Givat Haviva from 2012-2021, Yaniv was one of Israel’s primary leaders of shared society. In this role he created programs that promote these values and educate as many citizens as possible to the benefits of working together.
Jeff was drawn to Younited because of its mission. He was seeking a collaborative environment where he could combine his teaching experience in both math and business management.
“The Younited mission drew me to this community when I came to Israel. It is so rewarding to teach young people who really want to learn and appreciate all that they receive here.”
Jeff has been teaching for 14 years in the US and South Korea. He also worked in EdTech and Personal Finance.
Jeff has a BA in Economics and Math from St Mary’s College and two graduate degrees in Math and Special Ed.
