Erez Hassul was born in 1983 and raised in the Western Galilee in Israel. He has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in geology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Following his research, which delved into the connection of geology and geophysics with archeology, he fell in love with this fascinating field.

During his tenure Erez lived and worked in Jerusalem, as a security officer and as a tour guide. Substantial parts of the descriptions in The Temple Scroll are based on his intimate knowledge of these worlds.

He currently lives in Amuka with his musical dog Jessica and volunteers in the Golan Rescue Team.

The Temple Scroll is his first book.
