Ahdout's older sister) in 1982[1] via Pakistan to Israel. Ahdout resides in Brentwood with his parents and siblings, Melody (born in Iran) and Daniel (born in California). He has attended Sinai Akiba Academy and Harvard-Westlake School. He is currently attending his first year at the University of Southern California (USC). He is double majoring in Business and Film.
