support the weak....

It's been a day of juggling bureaucracy, coursework and errands, as it was the Jewish holidays. I have been busy with things that have been pushed off due to those holy days.
I'm writing this en route to Old Trafford, where I'm going to watch a game so close to me: United vs Tottenham. Some of my closest friends are Spurs fans, and my nephew is a Spurs fan, so hopefully tonight I can cheer as United wins.
Some days, like today, bureaucracy can hit you without warning. Today it was a notice that my universal credit payments have been suspended, so I had to run to the Job Centre to sort it all out. Thank God, I managed to get it sorted.
I had a great conversation with my editor as I decided to base one of my coursework assignments on the Maariv newspaper. I learnt a lot of new things about the organization which I'm proud to call mine and am proud to do coursework on this organization, which is dear to me. 
I also had an article commissioned and printed in The Jewish News, which is always good to get my name out there.

On the other hand, I got an email that the dream position that I applied to, "Junior Producer" at MUTV, was denied. I was really hoping at least to be shortlisted, considering I love Manchester United with all my heart.
In fact, I was eating at the succah hut of friends of my wife, Liverpool supporters, and I told them if there are Liverpool decorations in the succah, I'm leaving and going to McDonald's! A cheeseburger is more kosher than Liverpool!
I had an amazing experience on Monday night at the synagogue when I was asked to hold the Torah scroll and lead the congregation in the prayer and later was called up to the scroll for a reading. I felt that the prayer I was asked to lead was appropriate, as we asked God to support the weak.
May all people get the help they need and may we all support weak people. Amen.

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...
