I was born in Israel after the Yom Kippur war. Since I was a kid, I was curious about the world and about us as a species living in it. As a kid I preferred to spend most of my time walking the dogs of my neighborhood and volunteering at the zoo, I found it easier to communicate with animals. In 1992, After the Gulf war, something has changed in me and I moved from protecting animals to protecting humans, I join a shooting range center and practice shooting with various weapons. After the army, I traveled for couple of years around the world and end up in New York where I lived for 6 years. While I was there I practice kung-fu, worked as web designer and finished my master degree in administrative science. On 9/11 I was on my way to work. That event brought me back to asking the 1 million dollar questions: “Is this what it’s all about? Is this our purpose in life? To hate and feel hated?” I lost hope. The discovery of the ancient Mayan calendar and the prophesies surrounding it brought the light back to my life. The Mayans and their Tzolkin calendar gave me hope. For it’s been written thousand years ago that a change will come and that the world can become a better place, but it’s up to us humans to decide if we want to go through the change or not, and if we do, we must do it together. At 2005 I moved back to Israel, worked as kung-fu instructor and co-funded a web design studio to pay the rent. Galapula was born during the recession of 2008. The idea came to me in a dream and I started writing it as I woke up. This is a book that will charge people with optimism and joy, even if it’s for a short time, it influences and it’s worth it.
