About this episode
Current Time.Hi Dear Friends,Welcome to the weekly update.I’m in the final stretch of resolving some issues in my life, and the past week has been packed with tasks, so I couldn’t post like usual.Every challenge in life teaches me something, a lesson, or a truth about myself. I’m discovering my strength and realizing I’m capable of doing things I never believed I could do. It’s more than just confronting my fears. It is about handling challenges I once thought were impossible to manage on my own.It’s not that everything is perfect or that I’ve solved all my problems.

Many have criticized those decisions to this day. However, leaders are human. They make mistakes. The founding leadership was navigating uncharted territory and building a country for the first time. Most had no prior experience, only a powerful ideology and determination to create a homeland for the Jewish nation.Looking back at this time from various angles, including housing and basic survival needs like food, clothing, and employment, made me see things differently than when I learned about it in high school, from my parents' and grandparents' stories, documentaries, and TV news items.This time, I brought with me life experience. I acquired higher education, which includes economic knowledge as part of my engineering bachelor's degree and MBA.
