For over 30 years, the Peniel Learning Center (PLC) in Tiberias has served children from the local Messianic community, providing a full elementary school curriculum (grades 1 through 6) in an atmosphere that honors the Word of God. As the first and only Hebrew-speaking Messianic elementary school in northern Israel, the Learning Center has always maintained good relations and cooperated with government agencies and the local public schools.
The school has an excellent reputation for producing graduates that have gone on to achieve academic success in middle school, high school and beyond – giving testimony to their faith.
A local middle school principal from the public system once expressed that the PLC sends her “flowers” each year, a reference to the pupils who graduate from Peniel after sixth grade and move to her school.
Despite its good standing with local authorities, in late 2020 the PLC began to face opposition from the Ministry of Education (MOE). This resulted in the school being served a closure order in January 2021 for ‘operating without a license.’

Thank you for this. The Gospel is going forth in Israel, PTL!
So, what prevents the school from getting a license?
The Peniel Learning Center continues the costly and time-consuming battle to keep the school and kindergarten operating.
“ITAC, itself, runs the Anglican International School in Jerusalem without a license and has never received an order from the Education Ministry to obtain one, as they have existed in the land for over 200 years – before there even was a State of Israel!L
“We have now received all 30 permits that were needed to get the kindergarten up to code and are now waiting for the city engineer’s signature. All of this is just to submit the request for a license! It’s been very difficult,” said the Learning Center’s principal.”
“While the school closure order was presented as an issue of legality and licensing, there is, naturally, a strong suspicion of prejudice against the PLC being a Messianic school.”
Israel Ministry of Education is a Deep State totalitarian operation that hates and interferes with any school not socialist or Muslim. They are too cowardly to apply the same standards to Muslim schools.
I doubt it. It's the Ultra-Orthodox Jews (the Haradi) who really hate the Messianic Jews. The more liberal secular or "socialist" Jews are more tolerant.
This is not the doing of any "socialist Deep State." It's simply the result of the rising birthrate, and increase in political power, of Israel's Ultra-Orthodox Jews.
