My favorite Israeli custom is – openness My greatest Israeli childhood memory is – Family Shabbat dinners with extended family My first job was - Gardner. At the age of 11, I had my first business called Greenpeace for gardens around my moshav :) The one person I would really love to meet for dinner is - Frank Sinatra I am most motivated by - My team I am most discouraged by - Cynical people The worst piece of advice I was ever given is - Make a bet on a full bottle of warm cheap vodka (I drank all of it, huge mistake) The quality I most admire in a person is – resilience, thoughtfulness, respect to others If I wasn't doing what I'm doing now, I would - explore outer space If I could, I would go back in time and tell my younger self that - Always forward, no regrets My favorite Hebrew word is – Sababa (cool, great) One last thing before I go – we are fortunate enough to be present in one of humanity’s most amazing stories ever created – Israel. To be able to write our next great chapters, let’s keep refining our young evolving identity and find clever ways to still live and build together. Choose hard compromises and pragmatic collaboration, over divisiveness and cynicism. Happy birthday Israel!
