Early life and education

He grew up for most of his pre-adolescent life in the Dervaylik metropolitan area in northern Yisrael, in the Chareidi-dominant neighborhood of Ben HaChareidas, before his family moved to a similarly-affiliated religious neighbor in Yerushalayim called Har Nof.

Political views

He is considered a mainstream conservative in the Conservative Party. He has been quoted as saying "national interests" should trump strict application of morality in Yisrael's foreign relations.

Although raised in the Chareidi sector (also known as the Non-Zionist Religious Right), he has described himself and by others as occupying the socio-religious role of "Chardal," in between the National Religious and Chareidi sectors.
