adult BIBLE class WITH YOAV GAL

Formerly a composer and multimedia artist, Yoav Gal turned to education as a second calling. Disillusioned by the ideological rigidity and anti-Israel sentiment in the art world, he sought a more meaningful way to contribute by helping build character and confidence in Jewish youth. 

Born in Israel, Yoav moved to New York at 22, where he created critically acclaimed Hebrew-language operas . His artistic work gradually evolved into community-building: he founded cultural and educational initiatives for Israeli-American families, including Hebrew theater, holiday events, and Bible study groups based on Project 929.

Yoav is a teacher of Hebrew, art, Bible, and Jewish history at Emet Classical Academy in Manhattan. He is a candidate for a Master’s in Jewish Education at the Melton School of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, as well as for the Tikvah–University of Dallas Master’s in Classical Education. For Yoav, the classroom has become a new stage for telling the story of the Jewish people.
