At the age of 33, at the peak of my strength, health, and productivity, I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer

As a businessperson and an adventurer who always follows his heart and dreams, I lead a healthy lifestyle with five CrossFit workouts a week, mainly cooking organic meals, practicing daily meditations, and deeply appreciating life. I am an enthusiast motorcyclist, snowboarder, hiker, climber, community leader, and builder, always surrounded by goodness, joy, and light. Suddenly, like lightning, my life was struck and everything I knew and recognized shattered. Everything came to a halt.

How did this happen to me?

That's a question I decided to set aside and not dwell on until I am completely healed.
Deep down, I know the answer and believe that over time, I can delve deeper, reach completeness, and gain full understanding
I believe there's purpose in everything, and I see the good and opportunity even in this complicated situation.

At this stage, I am focusing on healing, embracing existing challenges with understanding and patience, and cherishing the better days. I believe our healing begins primarily from within, and healing forces come from the soul.

I was diagnosed while staying in the US and hospitalized at the world's most renowned hospital. I chose that my true healing would take place at home, in Israel, in the countryside. Surrounded by family and friends, enveloped by orchards and childhood landscapes, that's where I draw strength. Only at home can I achieve true healing.

Today, a flame of hope and faith burns in my heart that good and great things will happen from here. I am aware and acknowledge that there is still a long, hard, and winding road ahead, and I must be ready at any moment for any scenario.
היום בוערת בליבי להבה של תקווה ושל אמונה שדברים טובים וגדולים הולכים להתרחש מכאן . אני עם הכרה וידיעה שעוד דרך ארוכה, קשה ותלולה לפניי וצריך להיות מוכן בכל רגע לכל תרחיש.

But how is this any different from anyone else at any given moment?

This understanding helps me embrace the place of "acceptance" in the face of nature's course and allows me to accept challenges with understanding and true completion. It allows me to navigate without fear, without pressure. Suddenly, I am more attentive to myself and my needs than ever before. And I am suddenly filled with a passion for action and excitement for each day I wake up

We may not know each other, but I feel it is right to expose myself this way, and to allow people to see me so affected because perhaps it will give a little inspiration or perspective to gain some of what I am fortunate to see and experience in these moments of struggle and illumination.

Feel free to say Hi

Yours
