Estelle Friedman, began her long journey in educational television in 1968, as a screenwriter and TV teacher for the English teaching TV series “More About English.” Soon after, she was appointed producer of the English Department and produced over 500 episodes teaching English on TV. Her success opened the door to becoming Director of Production at Israel Educational TV, where she worked producing programs that became an integral part of Israeli culture. Many generations have acquired the basics of the English, Hebrew and Arabic languages, and basic concepts of Judaism, thanks to the innovation and accessibility Estelle brought to educational programming.

She has touched the lives of millions of young people and adults, and contributed to the education of Israelis as well as the creation of a culture of values of Israeli society. Estelle’s work was born out of a Zionist sense of duty to provide new skills and learning tools for students in Israel.

Estelle made Aliyah in 1964 from the USA.
