Hebrew for someone you don't take lightly. Word for word: doesn't go on foot. Both fit.
Lectures
Look after your four 
corners.
I speak at schools and youth movements, at staff days and management offsites, in communities around Israel and to audiences abroad, and I shape every talk to the room in front of me. Whoever is in the room leaves with the same few tools.
How to keep going when something breaks and there's no quick fix: no cure, no magic, only faith, willpower and time. How to stop fighting a hard day and let it pass. How to look at someone different without looking away. And an idea I learned at school and still live by: look after your own four corners. Do your best inside them, at home, at work, with the people next to you, and it spreads further than you would think.
It took me ten years to find the strength to live with what happened to me. That strength, I've learned, is in everyone.
15 years of talks, in Israel and abroad
I grew up in Itamar, a small town in the Shomron. In 2002, when I was nine, there was a terrorist attack at our home. I lost my mum, three of my brothers and my right leg.
I spent a year and eight months in Tel Hashomer hospital. Then my dad started driving me to the Israel Sports Center for the Disabled in Ramat Gan, and that place saved me. Nobody there looked at me differently. I swam for Israel for eight years, then went looking for a sport I would love even more, and found wheelchair basketball.
I've played for the national team for 15 years, number 7. Six of those seasons I also played in Germany, two in Hamburg and four in Köln. In Hamburg I even ended up in a German film, Vierzehneinhalb Kollisionen.
Off the court I have a degree in physical education. I taught PE at an elementary school for two years, and I coach kids with disabilities at Spivak, the same place that got me back on my feet. Well, foot.
In 2022 I lit a torch at the Independence Day ceremony on Mount Herzl. I said then that it wasn't because of the loss or the hardship. It was because of the strength I got from the people around me. That's still true. I've been giving talks for 15 years.

My message is always to keep believing in yourself, and to remember that a hardship is a chance to get somewhere stronger.

Wheelchair Basketball Experience
with Israel's #7, in your gym.Two hours that change how a whole class, or a whole team, looks at disability. As a kid, every eye was on me wherever I went, until I got to a sports hall where nobody looked twice. We turn your gym into that hall. You bring the gym, we bring the wheelchairs and three or four professional players.
It's loud, it's competitive and it's a lot of fun, and that's exactly why it works. It's hard to feel sorry for someone who just beat you to the ball.
A quick game between the pros, so everyone sees what this sport really looks like.
Everyone gets in a chair and has a go. Pushing and dribbling at the same time is harder than it looks.
We finish with our own stories, and what everyone can take away from them.
Hiring people with disabilities
between people with disabilities and good jobs.Companies that want to hire people with disabilities often don't know where to start, and people with disabilities often don't know which door to knock on. I want to be the straight line between them.

For managers and HR
The law expects workplaces with 100 or more employees to have 3% of staff with disabilities. Doing it well is another matter. I work with your managers on where to find good people, how to bring them in and how to keep them, and I put you in touch with people who are already looking.
Message me, it's free. Send a CV if you have one. If you don't, a message is enough to start. People ask me whether you can still have a job and a family after an injury. You can, even on one leg. We'll work out together what to study, where to aim and who to talk to.
Sponsorship
behind Israeli wheelchair basketball.Wheelchair basketball in Israel is played at international level on a fraction of what football gets. Sponsorship pays for what keeps it going: sport chairs, training and travel to tournaments, and your name goes with it.
Tell me what you'd like to support and I'll connect you with the right people at the club or the national team.

Usually around an hour. The length can be adjusted to fit your schedule, from a single class period to a longer staff or community evening.
Because the talk deals openly with loss and recovery, I recommend it from grade 6 and up. It works for teenagers, adults, staff teams and community groups, and I adapt the content to the age and setting of each audience.
A gym or sports hall with enough open floor for the chairs. We bring the wheelchairs and three or four professional players. It typically runs about two hours, and we can adapt the format to the space and time you have.
It suits every age from grade 1 up, adults included. Larger groups play in rounds, so everyone gets time in a chair. If you're planning for a big group, mention the numbers when you get in touch and we'll plan the rounds around them.
Yes. Both the lecture and the Wheelchair Basketball Experience work well for staff days and management events, and I also work with managers and HR teams on hiring people with disabilities.
Yes. For people with disabilities, getting in touch and working out the next steps together is free. A CV helps if you have one, but a short message is enough to start.
Send the date, location, group size and what you have in mind through the form below, on WhatsApp or by email. Pricing depends on the format, length and location, so I'll come back to you with availability and a quote.
