Kultur 8 - Yaakov

Once again, the reading for this Kultur assignment have brought Israel and Germany together for me; the school and college system in both is so similar, which makes sense as the first university in Israel, the Hebrew university in Jerusalem, was structured and academically designed by Germen-Jewish professors.
