In the land of cheese, chocolates, and cuckoo clocks, a little Jewish baby was born. But alas, he was not raised to ski, blow on the alphorn, or to eat Fleishchaas once a week. His childhood found him in apartheid era South Africa, unfortunately ignorant to the happenings around him. Life included wearing uniforms to school, birthday parties, and trips to national game reserves to see springbok, giraffes, and wildebeest. But his adventures did not stop there. In the early nineties you could find him in the holy land wearing gas masks, eating falaffel, and floating in the Dead Sea. High school found him both in Wisconsin and Staten Island, New York.
