In His Own Words
1. What does playing for Israel mean to you?
Playing lacrosse for Israel is an honor. Since its 1948, we have been fighting for what we believe in. Now, playing for Israel, we get to play and fight for the country in a different form.
2. Talk about your personal connection to Israel.
Being Jewish and Israeli, I have a strong personal connection to Israel. Besides being a beautiful country, Israel is a place where Jews can practice religion freely. Having a strong connection to Israel is truly something very special.
