In 2011 Tzvi fulfilled another lifelong dream - to make aliyah with his family. A few years later Tzvi opened his first restaurant in Mahane Yehuda, Crave. Mojos, with locations in downtown Jerusalem as well as Teaneck, New Jersey is is a family run joint serving up kosher meat pizzas, delectable small plates as well as finely crafted cocktails and wine. On most nights you can find Tzvi in the kitchen at Mojo's cooking up crowd favorites with one hand and drinking wine with the other.
