He is born American, and has dual citizenship. However, he made Aliyah after a year of college in the US. He did a kibbutz ulpan, made aliyah, served in the IDF, and completed higher education in the US. All of these steps were driven by a Jewish connection. He has been "practicing" modern orthodox (or just living what used to be called "traditional" israeli) since moving to Israel over 35 years ago. But Tikkun played a big role early on.
