In 2008, I came across an article about the Judean Desert scrolls and was amazed to understand that I did not know the truth about Judaism in the period of pre-Christianity. This discovery led me to an in-depth study of the period, which evolved into the understanding of the Maccabees Rebellion and the creation of the Hasmonean kingdom that dominated the land of Israel for a hundred years, and later on the performance of Christianity on the one hand and rabbinical Judaism on the other. As a keen fan of historical novels and films based on historical novels, it was clear to me that it was the right way to tell and spread the story. The result was the historical novel series "The Lions of Judea", and in between, I composed "The Experiment," a short and sweet novel that illustrates the slippery slope toward the future. I was born in 1967 in Israel. In my youth, I trained in various martial art styles. Following my military service, I became a martial arts coach. Later when I become a writer, I found this knowledge valuable incorporating my martial arts expertise into my books. I graduated from Tel Aviv University with degrees in law, Economics and MBA, started working as a lawyer, a profession I practice until today. I'm married with four children, living near Tel Aviv in Israel.
