Biography

Moshe was born in Jerusalem in 1966, the eldest son of Menashe, a gardener, and Esther, a teacher by profession. He was followed by two brothers and a sister. Moshe's life began in Moshav Shoeva, where he lived until the age of two, after which he grew up in the Bayit VeGan neighborhood, the 11th generation of his family to have lived in Jerusalem. He was in the second graduating class of the Noam School in Kiryat Moshe, and at the Kiryat Noar High School, where he majored in Land of Israel and Jerusalem studies. During that period, he was involved in the Bayit Ve'gan Chapter of the Bnei Akiva youth movement as a camper, counselor and youth leader in the Tzuriel tribe.

In 1984, Alafi moved to Yeshivat Or Etzion, where he studied for several years under the tutelage of Rabbi Chaim Druckman. He did his army service in the Hesder program as a platoon sergeant in the Givati Brigade. After completing his army service in 1988, Alafi continued his studies in the "kollel" of the Yeshiva while living in Kiryat Malachi. He performed his reserve duty service in military engineering. In 1990, Alafi began his studies in directing and producing for television at the Torah Institute for Education and Communications, where he would meet his future mentor and collaborator, Adir Zik. They would go on to collaborate on many projects, including a film about Zerach Warhaftig's activities during the Holocaust, a show at the Burnt House and coverage and broadcasts of the Israeli elections. Alafi began as a personal assistant and went on to become a producer, partner and director.

Moshe Alafi completed his Bachelor's degree in Communication and Business Administration at Champlain College, and Art studies at the Open University of Israel in Tel Aviv. Alafi has held an official Governmental press card since 1993. Today, he studies Arabic at the Intercultural Center at Mt. Zion in Jerusalem.

He simultaneously worked with industry figures such as Micha Shagrir, Dani Siton and Ayal Peled. Alafi began working as an instructor at Ma’aleh School of Television, Film and the Arts in 1993, and he is now the school's longest-serving instructor. He currently teaches courses in research and production; he previously taught studio production and was a final production project coach. [2] Since 1995, he has served as, among other positions, the owner of Alafim Productions, which specializes in content creation for various clients across a variety of fields: documentaries and feature films, series and network series, festivals, tourism representatives, and films for museums in Israel and abroad.

Avraham Eilat is an Israeli artist, educator and curator. He graduated from the Hebrew Gimnasium Herzliya in Tel Aviv, and was enrolled in Hashomer Hatzair youth movement for nine years starting at age 9. After military service in 1960 he joined in Kibbutz Shamir, situated on the western slopes of the Golan Heights in the Upper Galilee, where he was a member until 1978. During his first years in the kibbutz, Eilat was a shepherd side-by-side with his kibbutz adopting father the painter Moshe Cagan. Close contact with nature and its phenomenon and the features of local landscape deeply influenced his way of thinking and established the themes appearing along all his career in his art. The contrast between man-made geometrical shapes of fish ponds and the free flowing of the flora and typical hilly landscape of the Hula Valley area, crystallized his visual language and determined its formal and thematic foundations. Avraham Eilat employs skillfully various means of expression: drawing and painting, etching, photography, sculpture, installation, and often a combination of more than one. Using those means enriches his basic statement and makes it complex and multi-layered. Avraham Eilat lives in Ein Hod Artists Village, Israel, with his spouse Margol Guttman, works in his studio in Pyramida Center of Contemporary Art, Wadi Salib, Haifa, and in his studio in Ein Hod.
