Therefore, at the end of the junior high school, he decided not to continue to Ort Kramim High School, where he did not have an electronics or computer program, but to move to Ort Hurvitz High School and study in his preferred track. As an ambitious and opinionated boy, Itzik chose to learn more about the real subjects: five units of mathematics, five physics units, and ten units of electronics. Due to his high achievements, he was chosen in 2004 to represent his school at the Telecom conference – a conference organized by the Ministry of Education, the IDF and the high-tech industries in Israel.
