Doron Kossonogi

Born in 1948, the year of Israel’s independence, Doron grew up in Tel Aviv. His father, a renowned Israeli artist, regularly took the family on holidays to Safed, an enclave known as “the artist colony.” He also instilled in his children a strong sense of values and a fierce love of country. While serving in the army (in the Six Day War and as a reserve officer during the Yom Kippur war), Doron met Gonny Allon. They married in 1974. Doron shares his father’s passion for art and has built a successful art gallery in Tel Aviv. Now he devotes much of his time to promoting the “Jesus Boat.”
