The most fun week I had in the army as a soldier was the week I slept in hotels. I visited many places in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the sea, and the desert and spoke in English this week.

If you are asking yourself why I did all these things as a soldier, then the answer is that I accompanied a group of Americans on TAGLIT.

Who thought of the idea of the TAGLIT project? What is its purpose, and how many people have participated in it?

When was the last time you went barefoot?

When the skin of your body touched the ground. At the beach, in the forest, in the park.

Rebecca Harrell Tickle and Josh Tickle are a duo of documentary film directors in the USA. In 2012, they made a film called "The Big Fix" about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Their film was very successful, though, during filming, she was exposed to pollution for an extended period.

The exposure to the pollution caused her to develop severe skin disease. She searched and searched for anything that would help her, but believe it or not, the thing that helped her the most was walking barefoot.

Is it in the whole neighborhood? Does anyone else have no electricity? Has anyone got the power back yet?

These were messages I received in the neighborhood WhatsApp group. At the beginning of June, the electricity went out in many places in Israel for a few hours. We had a situation called a power outage. Like, we don't have electricity in our houses. And it happened in the middle of a heat wave of more than 40 degrees Celsius. People were left without electricity, air conditioning, a refrigerator, and with very, very heavy heat. Why did it happen, and why will it continue if we don't start saving electricity now?

In this year 2023 India has become the most populated country in the world with the highest number of inhabitants in the world. With one billion and four hundred million inhabitants. The number of inhabitants in India is greater than all European countries, and also more than all African countries and all American countries. In the last episode I talked to you about the density and population in Israel and today I decided that I want to talk to you about the population growth in the world.

How did the world grow in such a way, why today women give birth to fewer children, is the world on the way to a population explosion, and what is the relationship between countries that do not have enough children for a free hotel vacation?

In 1949, David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, decided that every mother who gave birth to ten or more children would receive a one-time grant of 300 Lira. The encouragement of childbirth was successful. Compared to Western countries, Israel is the most densely populated country. On the hundredth birthday of the State of Israel in 2048, 20 million residents are expected to live in Israel, which will probably make Israel the most densely populated country in the world.

Why is it so crowded here? What are the consequences of this for our lives? And what is the connection to Pru and Revu Mitzvah from the Bible.

Over the years, the sun has been negatively portrayed most of the time as a dangerous thing that can cause skin cancer, such as melanoma, premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, freckles, and all kinds of other things.

So we all know about the dangers of the sun, but what do we know about its benefits?

Last week, a powerful earthquake struck Syria and Turkey. This earthquake was also felt in Israel. The last earthquake felt in Israel was not strong at all and did not cause any damage. Once every 100 years, there is a very strong earthquake in Israel, and the last one was 100 years ago.

In today's podcast, we are going to talk about earthquakes. Why do earthquakes even happen? What should be done during an earthquake? And the story of the Israeli girl who survived an earthquake more than 20 years ago.

My father was born in the 1950s in a kibbutz in Israel. In those years, there was no awareness of the harms of cigarettes. On one Purim holiday, my father, who was just a teenager, smoked so much and got nicotine poisoning. Since then, he can't stand cigarettes.

Today on the podcast, we are going to talk about a country that decided to fight cigarettes: New Zealand. What does the new law say? What will happen to those who break the law, and what is the situation regarding cigarettes in Israel?

What does the number minus 210 meters mean to you? In Israel this number is the Kinneret level. For years Israel was dependent on the Sea of Galilee, but today this is no longer the case. How does it make sense that in a country where most of its territory is desert, the population is only growing all the time, there is no longer a water problem
