CURRENT MISSION

To get people to love Jerusalem and the people who live in it.

ABOUT ME

I am a bit of a nerd. I play the piano (classical music) and like learning new languages, eating good food (but it has to be kosher) and meeting interesting people. I love travelling across the world and discovering new destinations, but they have to have a toilet. And a hot shower, if possible.

PHILOSOPHY

This world is magnificent, and filled with fascinating people. I am an observant Jew, so religious practice also gives substance to my life, I feel. I'd love to explain further, if you're curious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be glad to host you in my most holy home-town, and show you what 3000 years of history look like. And we could also get a beer :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: anything made by Woody Allen (I am Jewish, after all). I found Zelig amazingly brilliant.
Books: I love Paul Auster's books. And our very own David Grossman. I am currently reading Hans Fallada's Jeder stirbt fur sich allein (in Hebrew translation) and finding it dark, troubling, and very interesting.
Music: Classical. Schubert, Dvorak, Beethoven, Bach. I also like the Beatles and Aretha Franklin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bungee jumped in New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like teaching languages. Arabic, Hebrew and English are my strongest. I can also tell you a thing or two about Judaism and Islam and we can chat endlessly on Middle East politics.
