His father, Professor Yaakov Rand, a winner of the Israel Prize for his contribution to special education, is a chazzan.

After compulsory army service, Rand attended the Nissan Nativ Acting Studio in Tel Aviv and became an actor, abandoning Orthodox practice.

[3] Rand withdrew from acting to realize his religious aspirations, but after a six-year hiatus he returned to the theater, performing in one-man plays.

While Michal Batsheva had no prior acting experience, Rand insisted on playing opposite her rather than another woman for halakhic reasons.

[1] In 2008 he released his first album, Nekuda Tova (Hebrew: נקודה טובה, "Good Point") with 11 songs, which he composed himself based on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.
