After completing the Hevruta gap year program in Jerusalem and participating in a queer leadership program by IGY, the Israeli queer youth movement, he worked as a counselor at Ramah Nyack. He then served in the IDF as an intelligence researcher and course commander. Following his service, Yahel worked as a ceramics teacher and took part in a peacebuilding leadership program by the Peace Now movement. He is currently a fellow in the UJS Leadership Fellowship (Union of Jewish Students in the UK and Ireland). His artistic practice explores themes of displacement, identity, home, and intimacy.
