I can negotiate million dollar deals, play to soccer stadiums but talk about feelings and stuff - not so easy for me.

When I was last there there was no street. Just mud. You had to wear thick boots to get to the house.

I don't know why I didn't reach out to my family sooner. I was foolish.

In Israel, land of my birth. Very inspiring. Bethlehem. Nazareth. Galilee, Jerusalem. Home to the religions - Judaism, Christianity & Islam.

Never knew I had a brother and three sisters. Kobi, Sharon, Eugenia and Drora. We met. We reconnected. We loved each other.

My father left when I was 7. Was married 6x. No one knows where he was born, or how many children he had. He's always been a mystery to me.
