In honor of my Birthday, I decided to record a special episode where I am interviewed on the Jewish Women Entrepreneurs' Movement that I founded at the beginning of 2021. In this Episode I explain what is the JWE Movement, I unveil for the first time my vision for this Movement, and I speak about it being aligned with Feminine Energy. If you want to hear my answers on the difference between Feminine Dimension and Feminism? Or to know if I think that men are part of this movement, you will have to listen to the interview. 

In this episode, we took a deep and hard look at what it means to be Israeli from Inbal's perspective, and what is in the Israeli culture that creates this unique ecosystem that everyone tries to understand. We spoke about how Inbal was able to pinpoint so many things that may seem obvious to the Israeli eyes but that are unique to the outside observer. 

And finally, if you want to know what Inbal answered when I asked her why she did not speak about the connection between Israel and the Jewish People and if she thought that Chutzpah was a masculine or a feminine trait, you will just have to listen to the whole interview ;)
