my weekend

This past weekend, I dined on Friday night at my Uncle's home. My Uncle is Dayan (Judge) Steiner of the Manchester Bet Din (Religious Court) and we spoke about the different aspects of Judaism and the effect of journalism on the rating of places.
It was a fascinating conversation and I promised my Uncle that I will send him a link to some of my articles.
The next day, I sent my editor proposals for articles. I had 16 proposals, and as Murphy's Law dictates, everyone else was also sending their proposals in one go at the same time. So my editor requested that I send them during the week, and depending on space avaliability, they will go in or may not at all. This is one of difficulties as a journalist: you work so hard for articles and in the end they may not be published.
In the evening, I went to do a surprise birthday party for one of our friends. She was so surprised! It was really nice and we had pizza and drinks and pleasant conversation, which was good.
During the party we discovered her brother, Jamie was in my class at Cassel Fox Broughton Jewish, so that was nice to catch up with an old classmate.
I was so tired that when I got home, I went straight to sleep.
This morning, I checked trains for my December trip to Israel, as I am flying from London and looks like trains will be on strike. So it appears that I'll have to take a five hour coach ride, which will be fun...
I have my theory test tomorrow, and I flunked on one of my courseworks, so have to redo it, so I am swamped but I'm happy, which is what life is about.

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...
