My professional background is as a musician: I spent years playing with the Israel Philharmonic, and I currently perform with the Israeli Opera as a violinist. This experience has given me deep familiarity with Israel’s musical landscape and close connections throughout the cultural community. Alongside my work as a musician, I maintain a long-standing passion for writing. On my Substack, While Rome Burns, I publish essays and vignettes about daily Israeli life, with a focus on music and culture.
