I was born in San Cristobal, Santa Fe, Argentina, in 1937. My father was a lawyer, and my mother a dentist. I was the only child.

My family moved to a small town, called Villa Angela, Chaco Province, where I spend my teen years. By the time I finish high school, my family wanted to move to Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, where I could study medicine, in the University of Buenos Aires Medical School. I started the medical school in 1n 1954.

In 1956 our family emigrated to Israel. I was serving in the war as a physician, many times very close to the front lines. It was a very interesting and formative experience.

I finished my medical studies in the M.D. Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel, in 1962.
