Preserver of “Ladino” or as he prefers to call it “Judeo Espanol”,

One of the founders of Online Platform that fights antisemitism – @avlaremoz

Brave,

Entrepreneur,

Leader,

Team player,

Istanbul Lover,

Zionist,

Writer,

Public speaker,

A role model;

A gentleman… A friend…

You left us too early. You will be missed but not forgotten.
