Education and Early Career

Sdomi graduated from Bar-Ilan University with degrees in both Biochemistry and Law. This dual background in science and jurisprudence often informs the technical and moral complexity of his writing.[2]

His artistic training began at the Avni Institute and the Jerusalem Studio School. He pursued classical techniques at the International School of Drawing and Painting in Umbria, Italy, and completed his degree at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in the United States.

Career

Institutional Leadership

For over 14 years, Sdomi was the CEO of the Israel Plectrum Orchestra. Under his tenure, the ensemble attained international acclaim, including winning first place at the "Podlaska Oktawa Kultur" festival in Poland in 2008.[3] His contribution to the international mandolin and plectrum music scene has been documented in specialized publications such as the German Zupferkurier.[4] He currently serves as the director of the Diokan School of Art in Israel.

Literary Career

Sdomi is the author of several works that address historical trauma and moral responsibility:

  • The New Tales of the Green Brothers (2020): A short story collection published by Pardes Publishing that explores themes of identity and history through surrealism.[5]
  • The Case of the German Doctor (2025/2026): A historical novel based on a real-life encounter in Stuttgart regarding a German doctor who donated sperm to Holocaust survivors as a form of atonement. Originally published in Hebrew as Mishpat HaRofeh HaGermani, the work has achieved global distribution:
    • In Israel, the original Hebrew edition was released by Pardes Publishing and is available via platforms such as BookPod.[6][7]
    • In the United States, it is published by Simon & Schuster (ISBN 9781645061113).[8]
    • In Italy, it was released as Il caso del medico tedesco by Bonfirraro Editore.[9]

Humanitarian Work and Italy-Israel Relations

Sdomi designed and promoted the Nonantola Park in Rosh HaAyin, Israel. The park commemorates the residents of Nonantola, Italy, who saved 73 Jewish children (the "Ragazzi di Villa Emma") during the Holocaust.[10]

His philanthropic work and the park project have been featured in a documentary by the Italian national broadcaster RAI.[11] He has also participated in institutional cultural events at the Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli.[12]
