Palestinian businessman Ashraf Jabari said it was “a subtle celebration of thoughtful conversation, mutual respect and heritage-enhanced relationships. These are the building blocks of the emergent Israeli-Palestinian market.”

Pulse of Israel was blessed to ask to speak at an amazing election event with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the last election for English speakers who live in Israel.

Comments and Compliments

We get so many unsolicited comments and compliments! Here is one about the Symposium we ran a short while back at Givebutter:

Thank you for this teaching about Passover and for bringing all these people together with good resources. I enjoyed today’s rich Hebraic teaching. There were lots of new things we had learned about Pesakh.
