David Lange grew up in Perth, Australia, assuming his life’s work would be dedicated to building wealth and a family in Australia. In high school, he had some experiences that would nudge him in the direction of Israel, but it was meeting his future wife Erica – later Ahava Emuna – zichrona livracha, that sealed the deal for a future in Israel, and transformed both his life and his life priorities.

I visited David – also known for years as Ozzie Dave of the IsraellyCool blog – in his Bet Shemesh home, where we had a far-ranging discussion about his Aliyah, the cancer battle his wife waged with him by her side, career aspirations in Israel, raising kids and, of course, his Israel advocacy.
