Yael Zisling, Publisher of Gems in Israel said, AICE offers a rich online resource on a variety of Israeli and Jewish subjects. Cooperating with AICE will provide more people with access to our own offering, while enabling our readers to delve even deeper into subjects that interest them. At Gems in Israel, the basic premise is that you can t really get to know a country, just by visiting the major tourist attractions. We also believe that understanding the country s history is important. AICE provides a source of important information that is a great extension of Gems in Israel s own offering.
