My relationship to Ronen Foundation
my acquiantance with ‘ ronen foundation’ - i heard about ‘ .ronen foundation’ from a friend’ a beloved pianist- Tal Samnon Tal adviced me to apply for the scholarship. he said that everyone deserve a chance, so i went after his advice. i was very fortunate to get the scholarship. i met Yaffa Israeli (the co-founder of the foundation) at the mall- i haven’t realized that im going to meet an angel- a pure human being, willing to help to young musicans across israel and beyond the state. Yaffa always believed in us and her immense support guaranteed our 3rd prize in “Rome international piano duo competition”-. Yaffa will stay in my heart for ever.
