About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, to know more about the world and to tell more about my country!

ABOUT ME

I live alone. I have 3 daughter and 10 grandchildren. I like sport, theatre, computer, books and I am an open minded person, interested to know other people, to learn
from them, to discover a part of their world. I love nature and feel
extremely well outdoors but can enjoy
a long evening on a couch or cooking and eating together.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not do to others what you do not want to do unto you.
Always try to help, to whom you are able to help.
Helping another get-more than you give.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most memorable that I've seen in travel and that made me rethink a lot has happened in Mombae, India.
On the waterfront Shapati (so it seems it's called) in the evening in 2003, under a tree on the rug sat a young woman, and next to two sleeping baby and two dogs were sitting.
Were people around, it's not a poor district of the city, avoided rug and moved on.I decided to help her. She went and sat down, we began to talk, but when I handed her money parting it did not take them. You do not realize that I have everything I need. I am a happy man.
I am to this day, though many years have passed, extract a lesson from the passing of the meeting. Theoretically understand
And often I think that probably need a little luck. Only the units are different.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a guide in the Israeli Museum of Jewish Diaspora (Beit haTfuzot). I can guide you there and to tell you a lot about the Jewish history.
I can teach to knit, sew, cook and bake. I have an interesting selection of dishes for different occasions and in different products
