Meet our Instructor

Hebrew Instructor Aviv Liron

Shalom! My name is Aviv. I moved from Israel to New Zealand in 2021 with my wife and our daughter. I am an actor, a narrator and a storyteller with a great love for the spoken and the written word. I have restarted my storytelling theatre from Israel here in Taranaki under the name PeekAbook, and have recently participated in a musical at the 4th Wall Theatre in New Plymouth. I've spent 3 summers in the US working with the Jewish agency in a JCC summer camp as a music & theatre counselor and as an outdoor supervisor and ROSH MISHLACHAT (delegation head). I'm happy and excited to meet you, to learn from you and with you. Health & Happiness!
