About Haim Aronovitz

Currently serving as the Director of Melton Travel Seminars, Haim Aronovitz came to Melton with a rich background of formal and informal educational work – whether in the IDF as an education officer, the Israeli school system, or the world of informal and field-based education.

Haim has led and developed the Melton Travel Seminars since 1999, striving to teach "site as text" and "text as site", one of the hallmarks of Melton field learning. Under his leadership, Melton has developed an additional eleven seminars, most of them in Israel or Europe. Over the past two years, as all travel was halted, Haim helped develop a number of online travel opportunities.

Haim and his wife, Sandy, recently moved to Pardes Hanna, after many decades of being based in Jerusalem. They are looking forward to being in closer proximity to their three children and grandchildren as they move into this next phase of their lives.
