last week

So yesterday I updated up until I returned to the UK on Thursday.
For those that missed it, go read yesterday’s blog before coming to this one.
On Friday, I prepared for Shabbat. Friday night, we ate at a mutual friend’s place and on Shabbat day, we had two kiddushins of friends.
We had to go in to say Mazel Tov, and because of that, we arranged to eat at home but on the way back we stopped at my friend Motty Koppel’s to say hello and before we knew it we were joining them for lunch, which was nice. We chatted for a while and then at night came home.
On Sunday morning, I had an important zoom meeting with Israeli officials and in the afternoon, we celebrated my nephew turning 3 at a family event.
On Monday daytime, I did some coursework and at night had a family Bar Mitzvah, where I sang a bit together with the singer Buchi Glick, which was nice.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, I carried on with coursework and on Thursday, I went to Old Trafford to see United’s game against Barcelona. I almost had a heart attack when I came as my ticket read as canceled! I went to the ticket office which said there was no reason it should have been cancelled and issued a new one, only to have the new one not working as well! Finally, third time lucky, I entered the game at the 30th minute to see United beat Barcelona 2-1 to get through to the next stage.
I met friends from Israel after the game which was nice.
On Friday night, we ate with an old family friend and there was plenty of meat, so I was happy. 
Afterwards, I went to wish Mazel tov to my brother in law’s brother, who also happens to be a cousin of Esther, on birth of their baby boy. 
On Shabbat day, we went to the kiddush of the Bar Mitzvah boy, then ate at my parents in law’s. We then went to say mazel tov to a friend who had a baby girl and from there to the circumcision of the son of my brother in law’s. 
After that, we waited until after Shabbat to come home to wait for a Tesco order. Lucky enough, I looked out the window and saw the driver going to wrong address, so I ran after him.
We then went to say hi to some of Esther’s relatives visiting from Israel.
That was my week in full and it was a full week!

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...
