Let's meet face to face.

With all my love for writing and the virtual world, there is no substitute for human contact. In recent years, I have created a series of lectures that will take you on a trip to Paris without packing a suitcase or passing through Ben Gurion Airport.

Additionally, if you are looking for an activity for an event or a group gathering, I have created the “Who wants to be a Francophile?” – An interactive, funny, and entertaining quiz that reveals the spicy (and bizarre) sides of French history.

It's not just me: meet the experts

True, I spent most of the sleepless nights in front of the keyboard, but to make “Francophiles Anonymous” the most comprehensive website in Israel, I needed help from talented friends.

Over the years, the site has hosted great writers and experts in their fields – such as Dr. Oren Lieberman, Yoel Tamanlis, Ruth Shimoni And many more – who contributed their vast knowledge of history, culture, and cuisine.
