A healthier society starts with changing my consciousness,
and changing my economic and cultural choices – not with changing the government.
This is a reverse revolution.

About me, in short
In high school I finished a degree in mathematics, and planned to make an exit and become the next billionaire.
After the army I flew to South America. I saw that whether we slept in a broken-down hostel or in a penthouse on the Caribbean – the happiness was the same. I saw 16-year-old girls with C-section scars living in prostitution and poverty, and Israelis wasting their trip on drugs in dark rooms. And at the end of the trip I had a spiritual experience – without any substances.
That experience changed my whole view of life, and I began to study and to experiment: Kabbalah, anthroposophy, Buddhism, yoga, tantra, Taoism and Western philosophy. I made a living from teaching mathematics – as a university lecturer, a psychometric-test tutor and a teacher in anthroposophic education. In the years that followed I lived in communities, without a smartphone and for a while without money, and I even lived in an abandoned building and registered with the unit for homeless people.
What interests me today is how all of this plays out between one person and another. That's why I write, lecture and start social projects in Israel and around the world, and I'm on my way to a doctorate in the philosophy of economics.
In my free time I love to take photos, draw, play music, be in nature and do acrobatics and movement.
Goodbye
