One love - Manchester United

 We love United we do, there's only one United!

The joy is incredible as Manchester United win their first on-tour game of the season, a game held in Bangkok, Thailand versus their rivals, Liverpool: the score 4-0.

I love Manchester United. I have had a season ticket already for six years and every year on my birthday, I get that season's shirt with my name and age that year.

My passion for Manchester United started as a kid. My parents sent me for extra lessons with a noted teacher in town, Suzanne Kushner. While I was waiting for her, I watched her TV. My parents, being very religious, only allowed me to watch football on it. Her son, James, whom I later became friendly with in Israel and is one of Israel's noted tour guides, is a United fan.

He made it his mission to turn me into a fan and it worked! Later I found out that my uncles were themselves fans of United. In fact, I once went to a wedding of a friend who the Rabbi of his Yeshiva (Talmudic College) was my uncle. I walked in wearing my Manchester United jacket and my uncle called his students over pointed to my jacket and said this is the team you have to support.

Being a fan means a lot more than just supporting the team. It is being there for other fans, helping other fans and giving reverence and respect to the history of the club. It is more than just money - fandom is a religion, Old Trafford is a temple, it's a place of worship.

During the game today, I was talking to an associate of mine as United was 3-0 up. She is a Liverpool fan and she said that things are manic, obviously talking about work. I answered, "Yep! United is beating Liverpool!" Aah, how sweet that sounded!

On this note, I turn to executives on the United marketing team, some of whom I follow on LinkedIn: it would be a dream to work with United, so hit me up!

And come on Manchester United, let's keep on winning!

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
