Author - Anat Schneider

“I was born in Jerusalem in 1966 and grew up in a traditional Jewish home. I first met my husband Aviel, Editor-in-Chief of Israel Today, when we were both 16-years-old on Jaffa Street in downtown Jerusalem. We have raised three boys and a girl.”

“We live on a Moshav, a collective farming community, located in the magical Judean Mountains. My love for and faith in the Bible is an integral part of who I am and how I live my life. And I live with great appreciation and joy for all that life has given me.”

Together with Aviel, Anat has been a part of Israel Today since 1990. In addition to her many other duties, she writes a regularly on the Bible, faith and the God of Israel.
