Aviel born on a Kibbutz and grew up in Jerusalem in a family dedicated Zionism. After high school he served in the renown Givati Brigade and fought in the First Lebanon War. After his service he studied Music at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and later went on to study Telecommunication and Marketing.
Together with his wife Anat they raised four children and for the couple “family is above all!” They live on a Moshav in the hills around Jerusalem where Aviel served for years in a rescue team in the Judean desert and has a passion for the unique wilderness of Israel. He enjoys hiking, running, cooking, music, kitesurfing and travel. Family, work and faith help him keep balanced in mind, body and soul.
Aviel loves to uncover biblical truths that shine light on current political dramas in Israel and the region. “As is it written, ‘There is nothing new under the sun.’ But there is a lot of ancient wisdom and things that people forget, especially concerning Israel. Whether we like it or not, the Bible is the only mandate for Israel’s rebirth and existence today.”
