my week in Israel

Sorry I haven't upgraded my blog lately. It has been just a crazy time!
Last time I wrote was after landing in Tel Aviv after discrimination I experienced with Brussels Airlines which made me have to pay for an upgrade so I could have seat appropriate for my disability.
Well they refunded the money and gave an apology after I complained.
I landed in Israel on Thursday and went to my Rabbi to help him in the soup kitchen. I then went to my friend Tom Rev's place where I was staying the following day.
On Shabbat, I slept a lot. I really needed it.
On Sunday, I did my exam and went to buy some jeans at Castro as I'm running low on clothes. I brought 4 pairs.
On Monday, I went to Bnei Brak for a meeting with the Kamana Rebbe, a Hassidic rabbi, whom I am very close to.
Afterwards, I went to Castro again as they had made a mistake on my bill which they sorted out.
On Tuesday, I went to Tel Aviv to help Tom with dropping off a friend there and afterwards went to my nephew's Bar Mitzva. It was a gorgeous event and got back at 1 am only to help Tom at 4 am take someone to the airport.
I thought my flight will be at 5pm arriving in Manchester at 11 pm, so one night of messed-up sleep would be bearable but Lufthansa's computers crashed and my flight to Munich was cancelled!
After a few hours rest with supper at Kfar Hamaccabiah hotel, I flew at 1 am to Istanbul on Turkish where the assistance team, who spoke no English, wanted to bring me through by wheelchair. Luckily, the woman handling the flight spoke English and decided to walk me through herself.
On the way, we had to stop after witnessing a passenger throwing things around and wait for the police to detain the fellow.
My flight to Manchester was at 08:30 and we landed at 10 am.
After not sleeping all day, I headed home and straight to bed.
After sleeping several hours, I unpacked and just relaxed.
I then realised that Manchester United were playing against Barcelona in Spain so I grabbed the remote to watch the Reds get 2-2 to bring the game back to Old Trafford for a second match.
Went back to sleep and relaxed.
A report on the next week I missed will be updated in tomorrow's blog.
Again sorry for missing so much and thanks for your understanding.

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...
