The Raphael Recanati International School is proud to introduce Asaf Tzachor, the Acting Dean, Vice Dean, Head of the International Program at Reichman University, and Academic Director of the Aviram Sustainability and Climate Program– the flagship honors program in sustainability, technology, and entrepreneurship. Born, bred, and currently residing in Tel Aviv, Asaf's educational journey took him to prestigious institutions in the UK, including Oxford, Cambridge, and London. With a focus on sustainable resources management, sustainable food systems, sustainable supply chains and risk, and artificial intelligence and sustainability, Asaf is passionate about working with students to develop innovative ideas and ventures to improve our planet. His biggest piece of advice to students? Practice attention and grit – perseverance and passion for long-term goals.
Please also welcome the Head of the Sustainability program at RRIS, Yael Parag. Growing up in a Kibbutz in the north of Israel and now living in Tel Aviv, she holds a BSc in Biology, an MA, and a PhD in Social Science from Tel Aviv University, and completed her postdoctoral research at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford. She believes that the international perspective students bring to the classroom enriches discussions and makes learning truly engaging. For her, the most rewarding part of the job is meeting young people as they shape their futures. Her advice to students? Make the most of your studies – broaden your horizons, join clubs, meet new people, and build an international network of peers. Don’t be afraid to fail. While failure can be painful, it teaches invaluable lessons and fosters growth. Together, they guide our students through a transformative educational journey, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact on the world.
