Background: I was born in New York City and came to Israel the following year when my parents immigrated. They settled in the northern port city of Haifa and that is where they still reside. I hold dual American and Israeli citizenship.
I excelled in my studies in school and passed the matriculation
exams with success. After high school I studied in the Yeshiva
of Keren B' Yavneh for five years, under the supervision of the
renowned Rabbi Goldvicht z"tl. I served in the Israeli defense
forces in the Givati Brigade.
Afterwards, I studied at Mercaz Ha'ra Yeshiva in Jerusalem, under
the guidance of the Gaonim Rabbi Yisraeli ztl. and Rabbi Avraham
Shapira the former, Chief Rabbi of Israel, who was my mentor during
my studies there. Then I studied seven years at Eretz Chemdah Kollel",
where I completed my studies as a Rabbinical court judge. I successfully
passed the exams for Rabbinical Ordination and received certification.
Likewise, I earned qualification to serve as a Rabbi of the local council and later qualified to serve on the Rabbinical court as a judge.
