Anat describes her brother as charismatic, caring and social, deeply connected to nature, especially the desert surrounding  Mitzpe Ramon, where the family lived for several years during his youth. She told KAN's Naomi Segal  about the significance of her brother's name, and how she has carried it on. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
