02 / THE BOOK
Walking Barefoot with a Transistor
Two journeys run through these pages: the road to Jerusalem, and the determination to leave no one behind.
A MEMOIR / A LIFE IN MOTION
The road was longer than the miles.
A boy in an Ethiopian village becomes a shepherd early in life. A voice emerges from a tiny transistor. Passover Eve, 1983. Twenty-eight days walking barefoot, the camps in Sudan, and arrival in Israel on December 27, 1984. Arrival was only the beginning: school, military service, engineering, family, and responsibility to others.
