the IDF (FIDF). On an Israel visit in 2007, upon touring a community center in the southern city of Sderot, which often comes under rocket attacks
from Gaza, he immediately pledged $500,000 towards reinforcing the center against rockets.

expanding and enhancing the city’s main Magen David Adom emergency health service branch in honor of his father. In 2014, he won the $1 million
Genesis Prize, also known as the Jewish Nobel, and dedicated it to encouraging innovations and entrepreneurship inspired by Jewish values.
