".. The knowledge of inquiry and the understanding of the core of the social processes fascinated me from an early age. I love the human encounter, the ability to teach and learn, to influence and to be a partner in shaping people's stands and views.
In my youth and until my thirties, my work was a combination of education and agriculture. The similarity and big satisfaction in both, is the ability to see a process of growth and maturation. The difference is, with bananas, you know what the product you will receive will be, by the physical conditions and quality of the effort you make. In the case of people, surprises are always expected. The elements of human freedom and the ability to think are always there. Education is an act of "send your bread across the water," believing that "in time you will find it."
I believe that my purpose is to inspire people to think outside the box. To reveal invisible layers, to clarify what are the values and basic assumptions that are the bases of the different viewpoints. to contribute to the expansion of knowledge on the core issues of Israeli society..."
