What Should I Do With My Life? with Steph Horwitz

S3 Ep 6: Joseph Gitler


Listen Later

I am excited to introduce you today to Joseph Gitler, the founder and chairman of Leket Israel, the leading food rescue and resource organization in Israel. In 2022 ALONE, Leket distributed 27,000 tons of fruits and vegetables and over 2 million cooked meals. I have volunteered at Leket and they are doing such important work, have such creative campaigns, they are making such an impact. Throughout our chat, Joseph sprinkles career tips for immigrants in Israel, he gives lot of social and economical context in terms of what’s been happening in Israel over the past 20+ years ago as well as the present day landscape to give you an understanding of the tech sector, the nonprofit sector, the many people who have fallen between the cracks, and where food waste and rescue comes into the picture. In this episode, Joseph shares about the fateful bar mitzvah he attended that sparked his desire to rescue cooked meals for those in need, we hash out this conundrum of being able to afford the high costs of living while wanting to work in impactful, charitable jobs and how to deal with the enormous pay gap that exists, how the monied world views the charity world, and so much more. Joseph also shares his proudest moments, which just may surprise you!
