Hi, I was originally born in Israel and lived in the States close to 24 yrs. of my life. I also lived for a few yrs. in Israel as a young adult and served in the Israeli Navy. So, I guess that makes me an ex-pat and a hybrid between an American and an Israeli. By nature, I am an extremely passionate person about everything I do in life. Whether it be teaching a Business English class or working out in the gym. I pride myself on reading feverishly many articles from many renowned U.S. newspapers and publications (WSJ, NYT, The New Yorker, Newsweek), as well as listening to political media outlets online. The purpose of my desire to participate in this blog is to be engaged with the ex pat American community and apply my writing skills to bring out the most intriguing and thought provoking stories and anecdotes that I have experienced during my 20 year stay in the U.S. and since my return to Israel, almost 1.5 years ago. I am extremely knowledgeable in areas of Business, Finance, American Culture, American Social Issues, American Politics, American Sports (Football & Baseball are my first and second sports passions).
