After completing his BA and MA degrees in biblical studies at the University of Haifa (Israel), Igal went on to pursue his Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from the University of Toronto (Canada).

Igal has taught extensively in numerous on-site and online settings. He is very excited about teaching Jews and Christians about the biblical origins of their faiths.
