A young and aspiring Bahraini woman is all set to be the first person to start a Hebrew language academy in the kingdom.
Asma Alatwi is supposedly the first Bahraini who has a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Hebrew literature and language.
The 27-year-old graduated from Ain Shams University in Egypt in 2015.
She did her schooling at the Al-Iman School in Bahrain. It is here that her interest in the Judaism religion, its beliefs and the Jewish community, culture, lifestyle, traditions etc. began.
“Since 2009 my passion started off with curiosity, then turned into interest and finally to love! At the Al-Iman School, which is Islamic, we used to learn about prophetic biography which also includes a lot of stories about Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) with Jews. This knowledge motivated and inspired me to discover and learn more about Jewish by myself to satisfy my curiosity,” said Asma to the News of Bahrain.
