The language spoken at home between his parents was the Iraqi spoken Arabic, but as a Sabra – a native-born Israeli Jew – Hebrew was his mother tongue, while Arabic was for him, as dictated by the Israeli-Zionist educational system, the language of the enemy, furthermore, Arabness and Jewishness were considered as mutually exclusive. 〔“‘Arabs of the Mosaic Faith’: Chronicle of a Cultural Extinction Foretold,” Die Welt des Islam 46.1 (2006), pp. 43-60.〕 He was educated at the Nirim School in Mahne David, a transit camp (ma‘barah) established near Haifa for the immigrating Arab Jews.

The thesis is still unpublished.〕 In 1987, he was granted Ph.D. for a dissertation written at the same university about the mystical dimensions in modern Arabic poetry. 〔Mystical Dimensions in Modern Arabic Poetry 1940-1980 (), Hebrew University, 1997, 559+31.
