My relationship to Ronen Foundation

My first acquaintance with Ronen Foundation began while I was still a

student at the Buchman- Mehta School of Music, located in Tel Aviv

University, about 4 years ago.

The person who was the connecting chain between my self to The chair

man of this foundation, Yafa Israeli, is himself a well known israeli pianist

and a pedagogue.

I'd to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to this wonderful

foundation which gave me an opportunity to be a part pf a truly special

community of great people which share so much in common, especially

while united, thanks for Yaffa Israeli and her fantastic foundation.

I met with Yaffa Israeli first time about 4 years ago, where an immediate

bond was created, a bond which I hope will last for many years to come.

On this special opportunity I would like to say that without people like

Yaffa and others, its very hard to thrive and to breakthrough in this

world because exactly people like her makes us stronger and makes us

believe in ourselves.
