An Interview with Israel Hershberg

In 1972 he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute and a year later, he received his Master of Arts from the State University of New York, Albany.
He moved back to Israel with his wife, Yael Scalia and their family in 1984. He was awarded the Sandberg Prize and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art Prize. Israel is the Founder and former Artistic Director of the Jerusalem Studio School in Jerusalem and is currently the Director & Founder of the JSS in Civita Summer School & Residency in Italy.

This was great! Thankyou, making several confused subjects clear for me. Looking forward to continuing listening of these posts around JSS in Civita.
