I am originally from Jerusalem, born in Jericho in 1954, left Jericho during the war in 1967, finished my high school in Amman, Jordan, then left to the USA in 1973 to study aviation. I like arts and cultural activities. I founded several businesses over the years in the US, Egypt , Jordan and Palestine. I have three children from two different marriages.
Now I m dedicating most of my time to my NGO, a farm in South Shune, very close to the Dead Sea, the Baptism side and the border to Israel where I am attempting to create a peace community, organic farming and an Earth school.
