I’m honored, challenged and glad to play along..

First, the Rules;

Here are my eight random facts. In Israel they played with just 5 !!:

1.

I grew up in a small Yemenite neighborhood in a tiny town in Israel.

My parents immigrated to Israel from central Europe. As a child, I looked very much, like my neighbors.

I had very dark skin, eyes and hair. My brother

thought I was an adopted child. He should watch himself in the mirror..

2.

rebelled at age 15-16 and quit..

My father was disappointed

for my cousin's wedding. Never heard of that sort of a party before..
