The Royal Funeral

Like the rest of the world today, I watched the funeral of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. 
I watched the splendor of the ceromony as leaders, royalty and dignitaries filed into the chapel to pay their respect. I was proud that the order of service named Marie van der Zyl, the President of The Board of Jewish Deputies , and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis led our representation together with President Isaac Hertzog and his wife Michal, who is such a regal statesman that Sky News cut from the broadcast to show him entering the chapel.
As my friend, James Jeremy Marlow quoted, 
"Absolutely historic. Planned right done to the very last detail. The coordination, the marching, the band, chimes from Big Ben and so much more! It is like something out of a blockbuster movie! ONLY this is real. Billions were watching some of the best TV pictures ever seen around the world. American networks and others would not be screening it live if it did not have the ratings.
Britain is a country truly in mourning for Queen Elizabeth II." 
And so we are in mourning. Thousands sharing pictures of watching the funeral including from Israel. An event was held at Kumkum Tea House in Jerusalem, where tens of British expats came to pay their final respects to the only monarch most of us have ever known.
We salute you Your Majesty and thank you for your service. R.I.P.
God save the King, a new era is born.

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...
