My family in Israel goes back at least 200 years, way before the state was founded. The parents of my grandmother, Sara Algazi, were one of the first 20 families to found the city of Tel-Aviv. When I was seven years old, my Dad, ever in search of new opportunities, moved my mother, my brother, and I to America, the land of opportunity. Each of us pursued the American dream in his own way. I studied at the University of Pennsylvania, and became a lawyer at the University of Maryland. I've worked with my Dad as a custom home builder for the past 30 years. As part of the family business, I designed, sold, and built approximately 1200 custom homes in the Baltimore metropolitan area. In 1975, I was fortunate to marry a wonderful woman, Mira, whom I met in Paris, France. She has been the light in my life.
Mira worked in the family business for 18 years as our service manager, a job you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.
As a family, we've been blessed in many ways, and we owe much of it to this great land of America - a land of limitless opportunities, and unlimited possibilities. With so much to be thankful for, comes an irresistible urge to give back to the community. My wife and I would like to help sell a Vision of Hope on the Arab street, in the Middle East, and in the world as a whole. This would be our way of giving back, and fulfilling our dream to help make a difference in the world.view less
