Aryeh was married in 2015 to Miriam, and they live in Beit Shemesh (the “House of the Rising Sun” in loose translation).  Between them they have 9 children and 9 grandchildren… and when not playing with his grandchildren, aside from hiking all over Israel (or talking about it), when not promoting regional peace, renewable energy and accuracy in the media, Aryeh grows grapes and makes wine.
