Petach Tikva, Israel - Raised in AMIT boarding schools from the age of 7-19, Moshe Uziel hoped to one day be able to give back to the AMIT community that nurtured him and his sister Miri through childhood, adolescence and beyond. Since September, Uziel, now 33, has been able to do just that as the new director of the Pre-Army Junior College (Michlalah) professional training program at the AMIT Kfar Blatt Youth Village – where he was once a student. “My dream was to use all that I’ve learned from AMIT to help today’s students,” said Uziel, whose charisma and confidence clearly bring out the best in his students. “The Michlalah taught me all about automotive engineering and technology, the field I pursued in the army, and where I eventually became a commander. I want my students in the Michlalah to take this profession to a whole new level.” continued on page 18
