She then emigrated to Israel and graduated from <em>Tel-Aviv University<\/em> as well as the <em>Hebrew University of Jerusalem\u2019s Rubin Academy of  Music<\/em>. Following her impressive academic training journey,  her performing career blossomed. In addition to her academic career ( <a href=\"https:\/\/cas.stthomas.edu\/departments\/faculty\/ora-itkin\/\">https:\/\/cas.stthomas.edu\/departments\/faculty\/ora-itkin\/<\/a>) , she is an active soloist and chamber musician&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to their conversation entitled &#8220;<em>The Unbearable Lightness of Post-Truth &#8211; in conversation with Dr. Rima Azar and Dr. Timothy Jackson<\/em>&#8220;, Professor Ora Itkin was described by Dr. Jackson to Bambi with the following beautiful words: She is a thinker and a pianist whose name means &#8220;<em>light<\/em>&#8221; in Hebrew (this would be &#8220;<em>Nour&#8221;<\/em> in Arabic). Being a thinker in our current collectively insane times is a shining &#8220;<em>ora<\/em>&#8221; in the darkness.
