A New Chapter of Service

A New Chapter of Service – once again standing with Naftali Bennett and joining his mission to repair Israel.

Thirty-one years ago, at the age of 11, I made Aliyah from Chicago with my family. Israel became not only my home, but the place where I built my family, served my country and devoted my professional life to public service, most often behind the scenes. Joining Bennett and the B’yachad list is therefore a deeply emotional moment for me. It is an opportunity to bring that experience to the forefront and to help repair and strengthen the country that has given me so much.

I still remember the first time I sat down in Bennett’s office back in 2012. We didn’t talk about politics, strategy or tactics. We talked about vision, about what this country needs. It was a breath of fresh air and a conversation I’ll never forget. We’ve been through a lot together since then, and I’m proud to once again stand with him and to be part of the strongest, most experienced team running in these elections. A team combining proven public service with serious plans and the ability to begin implementing them from the first day in government.

My faith in Bennett is rooted not only in our years of working together, but in what I have seen up close. He is an experienced leader with a proven ability to make difficult decisions, turn ideas into action and bring together Israelis who do not agree on everything but share a commitment to the country’s future. After October 7, Israel cannot settle for a government that merely manages the crisis or slows the deterioration. We need leadership capable of repairing the deep fractures in Israeli society, restoring trust in our institutions and uniting right and left, religious and secular, around a common national purpose. I believe Bennett has returned to public life because he understands the depth of that mission and because he is uniquely equipped to lead it.

As a company commander with more than 630 days of reserve duty during this war, I know firsthand what Israelis and their families are prepared to sacrifice for this country. I also know that those who carry the burden deserve leadership that stands behind them. In the Knesset, I intend to work for genuine equality in military and national service, with no political loopholes; meaningful support for reservists and their families; increased Aliyah and better absorption for new immigrants; and a stronger, more effective Israeli voice around the world. These are not abstract campaign issues for me. They are the story of my life, as an oleh, a reservist, a father and an Israeli who believes deeply in what this country can become when we come together to repair it.
