I did my military service in a top unit of the intelligence branch, where I gained professional experience as well as important values and friends. I have a very typical warm Israeli family, with one older sister, Liran, who just got married a few months ago and a younger brother named Assaf, who's on his summer break from high school.
 
In my free time I do all kinds of sports (especially soccer and working out in the gym), ski and snowboard, and play all kinds of music (piano and guitar). I find it amazing how these things can bring people together. In addition, I love to travel throughout Israel, meet different kinds of people and enjoy the country’s amazing sights. 

I have many goals for this Shaliach year. Some are not yet totally defined, however I already feel my strong desire and motivation to bring "Israel" to everyone in this community, bring people from different places and with different views together, show various perspectives of Israel through its diverse society, views, achievments and conflicts. I hope to give my own personal view of Israel, through my short life experiences. And maybe my most important goal would be to affect and touch others’ lives.
 
I'm already excited and looking forward to work with all of you, and together, achieve a productive and meaningful year,
 
Lehitraot bekarov (see you in mid-August)!
