Growing up, Yonah was against the idea that everyone needs to go to college. He was a ‘rebel’ and was contradicting the norms of their family tradition. Figuring out his passion, he found the first thing that was really close to his heart, religion. After finishing college, Yonah went on a spiritual journey and returned to a new and better man whose passion is to help people in need and add value to their lives.
