Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

Israel is a giant playground if you can perceive it as such. One of my adventures in the corridors of Israeli academia (it’s a comedy. They all are) involved an esoteric investigation into a new class of numbers. There was a notion that there is a negative zero and a positive zero, and that it is somehow useful. I came in to the lab, understood what is required, and wrote the code that produces negative and positive zeros, and queries that perform statistical analysis on the outputs, etc, etc, etc. Negative zeros, positive zeros, perhaps useless in any case aside from slippage calculation in zero-ish trade thresholds. In any case, it’s unfeasible, due to Binance fees. https://lnkd.in/dfjKhTND

TL;DR: We had interns, they did great work, and I am super proud of them and thankful to Google and especially Alon Cohen, Moran Otorgust, Tehila Gourary, Shaked Tal, Netanel Persik, Yoav Yanovski who let me take part in this initiative, Not So short version: I am a big supporter of on-the-job-training. I believe our education system is fundamentally broken and the entire way we train people for both work and life needs to change.  When I heard from Shaked that this is a possibility, I started looking for what type of tasks in my domain they can take on. “What kind of skills do they have?” “Basic python”. “I can work with that”. Our highschool interns wrote api tests that verify api credentials for the integration lab. They also wrote selenium automation that does the same for UI credentials. They did meaningful work, and they got paid for it, much better than working the usual summer jobs highschoolers get. So yeah, We had to match the tasks to the programmers, We had to help them a bit with ramp-up, and working with juniors means spending more time supporting them. But now they are almost fully independent, picking up their own tasks, managing most of the development and testing themselves, Just goes to show you how quickly people can learn and become productive with the right motivation. This is useful work, and they were only here for a month, working 3 days a week. Imagine what we could’ve done if we had them for longer. I’m super proud of you Daria Dvoeglazova, Darina Grinkrug, Roman Tymoshchuk, Hadas Zelibanski, shlomit abaye, and feel a great satisfaction to have been a part of on-boarding you to the tech industry.

𝘼𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙉𝙤 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙙, 𝙄 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡.. 🚀 Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. 📌A few months ago, I joined LinkedIn with high hopes of meeting people who could help bring my project to life. But reality had other plans: ➡️ I met many people, but they had their own priorities. ➡️ My plan was deemed a failure, and I was labeled as incompetent. ➡️ It shattered my heart, and I found myself on the verge of giving up. 🔷 In my darkest moment, my big brother (Dada) stepped in with wisdom that reignited my spirit: 📌 "Do it. I trust you. Research your plan once again with a clear mind. Never let yourself feel demotivated." 🔷 This profound advice taught me several invaluable lessons: ➡️ When you feel like giving up, give it one more try. Often, success is just around the corner. ➡️ Always trust in yourself. Your belief in your abilities is the first step towards achieving your goals. ➡️ Share your struggles with your loved ones. Their support can be the catalyst you need, just as my Dada’s faith was for me. 🔷 Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. Keep pushing forward, and never lose hope. 🙂Comment below if u find anything wrong and do correct me also tell me if u have feel same in comment section... #Perseverance #SelfBelief #NeverGiveUp #SupportSystem #OvercomingObstacles #Inspiration #Motivation #Leadership

Steve Jobs' Legacy vs. Apple Today: Would He Agree? As Apple faces allegations of sending employee donations to organizations with ties to the Israeli army and illegal settlements, one must ask: Would Steve Jobs, the visionary who revolutionized technology, stand by Apple's current actions? A recent report revealed that Apple fully covers wages for employees who go to serve in the Israeli military, directly supporting the atrocities taking place in Gaza. These donations reportedly fund military activities and illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, despite Apple's stated commitment to human rights. With accusations of human rights violations, including torture and extrajudicial killings against Palestinians, Apple’s actions stand in stark contrast to the values Jobs championed. Would Jobs have allowed his company to perpetuate such horrors, or would he have used his platform for justice and compassion? It's time to reflect: How did we go from innovation and humanity to enabling genocide? #Apple #SteveJobs #CorporateAccountability #HumanRights #BoycottApple #WarCrimes #FreePalestine #EndApartheid https://lnkd.in/gBj-Wnbm __________________      ____________________    __________________ ENTITY (noun): A force or organization so devoid of humanity that it systematically commits atrocities and hides behind shallow justifications, a symbol of destruction, violence, and pure evil that must be eradicated from the human collective. DO NOT ask me again if I condemned October 7th!!! #BlockTheEmbassies United Nations International Criminal Court International Court of Justice (ICJ) INTERPOL United Nations Office at Geneva World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT)

Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?

𝐃𝐨 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐧? 🥓 Google invests billions in 🇮🇱 Israeli technologies and companies. Some of Google's (or Alphabet Inc.'s) largest acquisitions have been Israeli innovations, from Waze ($1.3Bn acquisition in 2013) to Wiz ($23Bn acquisition discussions in 2024). Yet, the 𝑩𝑫𝑺 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, which promotes boycotting 🇮🇱 Israeli products, happily uses Google services to spread their message. For instance, the 𝐍𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩, which helps consumers avoid Israeli products in supermarkets, has over 1 million downloads. Ironically, these users are consuming ads and paying Google for the privilege, all while using the 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐎𝐒, another Alphabet Inc. product. This contradiction reveals a lack of a moral compass guiding the BDS movement. It's all about convenience. They boycott Israeli canned goods, fresh produce, and other small items but rely on Israeli technology to identify products to boycott! As a carnivore, I used to love cheese and crackers, couldn't resist the smell of bacon, and enjoyed all kinds of cakes. But as a vegan, none of those appeal to me anymore because I refrain from eating animal products. I commend people who devote themselves to a specific way of life they believe in. However, I think a lot less of those, like BDS supporters, who make noise but don't follow through with their convictions. FUN FACT - Israel's 🍉 Watermelon harvest is greater than any other Middle Eastern (Arab) country and 6X Palestinian production (89M tons). 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥, or don't. Love Jews, or don't. I don't care either way. Just make up your mind and follow through. If you're a vegan, don't eat bacon. 🌱

When I started studying at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, I saw so many female students graduate and immediately leave for Tel Aviv, convinced that the only jobs were in the center of the country. But we have the high-tech park here, we have cybersecurity companies, and opportunities that people just aren't aware of. When I realized this was the challenge, I said to myself, "Perfect, Hackeriot will be the bridge." Meet ori salomon, a second-year physics student, one of the founders of the national Hackeriot community, the manager of the Hackeriot community at Yazamut 360, and a recent graduate of the Cactus Capital Academic course. Almost three years ago, I saw a Facebook post recruiting volunteers for a hackathon aimed at making cybersecurity more accessible to women. I asked to join and told them, "I don't know much about cybersecurity, but wherever women are being empowered, I'm there." Hackeriot is an incredibly supportive community of amazing women that has taught me so much about the power of teamwork and my own personal capabilities. What started with a Facebook message has become a central part of my life and has helped shape who I am today. I continued with the organization, and today I manage the national Hackeriot community, with activities all over the country. I also established the Ben-Gurion branch. Our branch here at the university is the most active in the country. We have an amazing team that organizes programs and meetups. This year alone, we've held seven meetups and established a mentoring program that we now want to expand to other Hackeriot branches. The Entrepreneurship Center is perfect for women and men who want to realize their dreams and are looking for an environment that encourages that, or who are seeking guidance. Alongside my activities at the Entrepreneurship Center, I'm also a physics student. Physics is the science of problem-solving. Every degree develops a way of thinking, and in physics, you learn to look at a problem and distill it to its essence. Once you've found the core of the problem, you need to use the tools you have to find a solution that's close enough. And what is that, if not entrepreneurship?
