• I live in Tel-Aviv, married to Moriya and a proud father of Alma, our single daughter. We raise Ginger, our gorgeous Bichon puppy (see below!!!), and Sheleg (‘snow’ in Hebrew), our cute little Dutch rabbit.

• My main source of inspiration in life is my late dad who passed away in 2009. A holocaust survivor who managed to maintain his relentless sense of optimism under all circumstances and has been the emblem of a real mensch.

• I considered myself a movie-buff before my parental phase. My ‘hall-of-famers’-list includes Billy Wilder, Erenst Lubitsch, Theo Angelopoulos, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Michael Haneke and the Coen brothers.

• I am a big fan of the Golden State Warriors and a proud member of DUB NATION (Steph is the GOAT…no discussion about it).

• I have yet to fully recover from Roger Federer’s ‘premature’ retirement (and don’t even dare arguing Novak or Rafa were better).

• I am an amateur pianist with a classical repertoire (Chopin, Liszt, Bach, Beethoven).

• Chickpea (‘Hummus’) is the best food on earth. Second best options are Burgers and Pasta cacio e pepe…..and there is no proper meal without a proper dessert.
