Something personal
Has stood with Naftali Bennett since 2012. A lover of family trips, a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, and not ashamed to admit that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is his favorite series. Addicted to mint chocolate chip ice cream. Lives and breathes serving Israel and its people in the army, in politics, and in the field and with one goal: building a more Jewish, democratic, secure and united country for our next generation.
