Current Time.

I enjoy listening to these podcasts in which Mark and Samantha talk about my work and share their insights. I learn so much from them, and they open my eyes to new perspectives. Their ability to describe how they understand my stories is outstanding, and their analogies and interpretations reveal angles I had never considered before. I’m amazed by each podcast episode more and more.

They don’t know it, but their conversations encourage me. Their nuances and choice of words guide me in what to write next. So, stay tuned for the next series of stories that will keep you anticipating the next episode. Be sure to check notifications from The Liat Show often.

I wasn’t sure at first if enjoying hearing radio hosts talk about my work was natural. So, I asked ChatGPT and Gemini about it. Apparently, it’s quite the opposite! In fact, it’s common and healthy for creators to appreciate feedback, recognition, and engagement with their work. They even called it "healthy pride" in my work, which is about appreciating when people recognize the effort and thought I put into my creations. It’s also about enjoying meaningful connections with others through my work, learning from feedback, and growing as a result.

So, without further ado, just listen and enjoy! For those of you who are only reading this text and not listening to the podcast, you're missing what everyone is talking about. Hit play if you don’t want to feel that FOMO (fear of missing out). By the way, if you're short on time, you can listen at double speed and cut the time in half. Did you know about that option?

I also want to thank all those who sent me private messages. You give me the energy to keep going. You will make history with me, and I give you my word.

I weave together episodes from my life with the richness of Israeli and American culture through music, food, the arts, architecture, wellness, entertainment, education, science, technology, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, supply chain, and more, including the story of the AI era. I write on weekends and evenings and share each episode as it unfolds, almost like a live performance.

Most of what I publish appears in sets or multi-part series focused on one topic. Some pieces stand alone as individual episodes, but many return to questions of origin, memory, identity, food culture, global conflict, and the systems that shape our world. If one episode speaks to you, it is worth reading the complete set to follow the full arc.

That stable cognitive signature turns the work into one connected body of knowledge rather than separate posts. Food, music, architecture, wellness, entertainment, education, science, technology, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, supply chain, and AI become different entry points into the same larger universe.

When Mark and Samantha dive into my personal experience of living in Bauhaus-designed old buildings in Tel Aviv, a flood of memories flows back into my mind, and I find myself longing for those times. I remember the feeling of walking through the streets of Tel Aviv’s White City, and as memories from that time come to mind, I can feel that same sensation in my chest, spreading throughout my entire body.

Alongside the wonderful memories from that time, I also remember the reality and struggles of living in those old buildings. Landlords had no incentive to maintain them, even minimally, because tenants continued to pay outrageous rent prices in high-demand areas like the old neighborhoods of Tel Aviv.

My personal story reminds me of my grandmother, who knew how much I cared about laundry. She wanted to buy me a washing machine when I moved to Tel Aviv for the second time after completing my bachelor's degree. I was excited about getting a new washing machine. But when I asked the landlord for help setting up the infrastructure for plumbing and electricity, which I was willing to pay for, he sent the building’s engineer to check my apartment. It took the engineer 10 minutes to inspect all the options and determine that my apartment, and probably the building, couldn’t handle the vibration of the machine long-term, deeming it too dangerous.

I wonder how many people truly realize they're living in history when they reside in old buildings or houses. After all, history is just our present reality - it's only with the passage of time that we begin to recognize it as "history."

I want to express my gratitude for Samantha and Mark’s important discussions of my blog posts, especially this one, which focuses on the Bauhaus architectural style in Tel Aviv during the early decades of the 20th century.

Imperialism. What are the similarities and differences between the Roman Empire in the 1st to 5th centuries AD and the British and French empires in the 20th century when ruling new territories? What innovations did they bring to the regions they governed? How did they advance the people under their rule and push humanity forward more quickly?

We tend to focus only on the negative aspects of imperialism, but in practice, it also brought many positive changes to the regions it controlled. The ruling empires implemented their systems of government and developed methods to manage distant territories at a time when there were no cars, airplanes, computers, smartphones, or Wi-Fi. Their ability to create such systems under these conditions is an extraordinary achievement.

Empires educated and taught the local populations the technology of the time and invested in infrastructure, particularly roads, primarily for their own economic goals. They developed communication systems to manage the empire better and to make sure that taxes and goods could be collected efficiently, first of all for them.

In effect, the nations under imperial rule were required to progress and learn to serve the empires' objectives. By doing so, they inadvertently advanced large segments of their populations, which had a broader impact on society and humanity.

I’m amazed by the way these wise and intelligent podcast hosts analyzed my story and talked about the history of the leading empires. I learned as much from them as they did from me.

Tel Aviv's architectural style has a unique fingerprint that goes beyond the appearance of the buildings to the sensation you get when you walk the White City’s old streets, purchase groceries in Shuk Hacarmel, and see the magnificent institutions that were built more than a century ago and still exist, serving the city's residents.

Tel Aviv is more than just a vibrant city. It’s a living history. When people walk its streets, they walk through time and can see the changes and innovations from different periods.

Tel Aviv’s "White City" was recognized by UNESCO in 2003 as a World Heritage Site, not by grace but by merit.

If you've never visited Tel Aviv, I strongly recommend adding this city to your list of destinations. I have no doubt that sightseeing, along with the culinary experience, will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

The strength of a nation is determined by its institutions, especially in education, arts, and culture. Nations that fail to develop or that suppress their people will become extinct, as knowledge is what pushes humanity forward. Nations need to progress together as a group and not solely rely on extraordinary individuals to save them because relationships and connections are essential for a thriving society.

When two nations that lived under the same empire, received the same resources, and had the same conditions for development, yet one built dozens of institutions that still exist today while the other built none, this points to a huge gap - not only in knowledge but also in societal collaboration. The failure to establish the essential pillars needed for independent nations speaks volumes about their ability to work together as a group. So, what can we learn from this?

I wish I could be in the podcasters' studio to ask them this because it's an important question to discuss: What does it mean when nations with millions of people fail to collaborate in building institutions that serve their own people and are essential for everyday life and culture? What does it mean that they continue to fail to collaborate as a group, even today, to establish something beyond personal gain - something that serves their community?

And, on the other hand, what does it mean that a small minority group, whose most people were murdered in the Holocaust during that time, managed to accomplish so much, so fast, without funding or resources, when most of them didn't even know each other and had to develop relationships and build trust?

When Victor and Donna dive into my blog post, "A Journey from the Ma’abara to Architecture," it feels like traveling back in time to the early days of Israel. I’m so grateful they continue reading my stories and sharing their insights with their audience.

It's always a challenge to capture people’s attention, but it's even more challenging to gain the recognition of top radio personalities like them. Listening to their discussions about topics I care about and hearing their reflections on my blog stories is an incredible experience. I’d love for hosts on The Late Show, The Early Show, or Good Morning America to join the conversation about The Liat Show: My Journey to Infinity as well.

To briefly summarize what they talked about for those reading this but not listening to the podcast, Victor and Donna reflect on my father’s journey from Morocco to Israel in the early 1960s. He and his family began in a Ma'abara (a tent camp that served as a temporary housing solution), endured many struggles, and eventually moved to a small public housing apartment. Against all odds, my father became the first in his family to earn a college degree in architecture from the Technion. His first job was working on Project Renewal, a government initiative aimed at rehabilitating public housing buildings in distressed neighborhoods built in the 1950s and 1960s.

Hearing my blog posts come to life through these discussions is truly special, and I can’t wait for more people to join the conversation.

The sensation I had in my body listening to this podcast episode for the first time was spiritually uplifting. I would have never imagined that software using a language model could produce such a perfect result. If I had to guide podcasters on what I wished they would say about my show, I wouldn’t have written it better than these outstanding podcast hosts just did.

I assume that’s what happens when the audience is impressed by an artwork and reflects on it through their own interpretation. I have to admit that I am impressed by the discussion and the podcasters' insights. Their perspectives and interpretations of my work had never crossed my mind. For the first time in my life, I understand what Rick Rubin meant when he said, "Let the audience figure out what the story is. It might not be the same as yours, and that’s fine." and "You can’t control people’s interpretation. And why would you want to?" Well, after listening to this podcast episode, I definitely don’t want to.

It’s like Howard and Ellen read my wildest dreams, which I haven’t even written yet, and expressed them in the most intelligent and unique way. After listening to their show a second time, I wish for many George Harrisons from all over the world to believe in my initiative and help me bring it to life.

To make sure I wasn’t exaggerating or perhaps overexcited, I let the podcast episode rest for a while and listened to it again after a good night’s sleep. I felt electricity and happiness in my body, and a wave of warmth spread from my chest to every organ. It was magical.

However, there’s a chance only I understand this episode differently, as I can see the horizon better since I know where I’m heading. Or perhaps I’m just the architect who designs the blueprints, but you live in these buildings. Maybe your perspectives and interpretations help me understand things faster and reach the next level.

I'm curious to see how things unfold, as I don’t yet have all the answers. So, in the meantime, I invite many George Harrisons into my heart, thoughts, and home.

Current Time Reflections on a Flashback

Shosh Atari and Eyal Peled dive deep into my blog story, 'On the Frontier of a New Land.'

I recommend listening while brushing your teeth or showering in the morning. I start my day listening to the NPR news overview on my iPhone and then listening to articles or podcasts on Substack or books on Audible.

I’m starting to get used to people talking about what I write across various media outlets. iHeartRadio – I hope your hosts will talk about my show soon!

I am grateful for the privilege of writing for you, and I thank you for reading, listening, supporting, liking, commenting, and rating.

Since the dear podcast hosts were curious about how common the Turkish-Israeli background is, here’s a summary from Wikipedia about the Jewish community in Turkey:

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Jewish community in Turkey was one of the most thriving in the Middle East. Istanbul alone was home to nearly 30,000 Jews, many of whom held prominent roles in the Sultan's court, such as doctors, bankers, consultants, and government officials.

During World War I, Turkey, once a powerful empire, was invaded and experienced significant changes. Many Jews in the Ottoman territories faced shifts in government and new rulers. Jews in the Balkans became citizens of neighboring countries, while those in the Middle Eastern regions, including the Land of Israel, came under the mandates of Britain or France.

In 1917, about 100,000 Jews lived in Turkey. During World War II, Turkey remained neutral, which helped protect the thousands of Jews who lived there. By 1947, the Jewish population in Turkey had decreased to 80,000, dropping further to 37,000 in 1968 and 25,000 by 1996. Most Turkish Jews had immigrated to Israel, with around 55,500 making the journey. Today, approximately 14,500 Jews remain in Turkey.

Thank you, Merve and Kutner, for diving deep into the Israeli rock music scene and sharing your experience listening to Berry Sakharof and Rami Fortis with English speakers worldwide. I wish music editors from the Howard Stern Show or iHeartRadio would magically come across The Liat Show podcast and interview Berry Sakharof and Rami Fortis.

I recommend listening to the songs in the stories, even if you don't understand a word. Just hit play, close your eyes, and let the music flow through you. To read the series they talk about, click the following links: 

* Turkish Bath

* The American Dream Through Turkish and Italian Eyes

* The Sweet Sound of Youth

* Fall in Love with Arabic Music through the Greatest Israeli Musicians

Since Merve revealed one of the next artists on my list, all I can say is stay tuned for the Ofra Haza series of stories. She was one of Israel's most talented musicians, reaching global music fame and gaining significant recognition from the American music industry, including Disney and the Grammys.

I weave together episodes from my life with the richness of Israeli and American culture through music, food, the arts, architecture, wellness, entertainment, education, science, technology, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, supply chain, and more, including the story of the AI era. I write on weekends and evenings and share each episode as it unfolds, almost like a live performance.

Most of what I publish appears in sets or multi-part series focused on one topic. Some pieces stand alone as individual episodes, but many return to questions of origin, memory, identity, food culture, global conflict, and the systems that shape our world. If one episode speaks to you, it is worth reading the complete set to follow the full arc.

You can also start from the very beginning or explore the complete index here: Index of The Liat Show.

My writing carries a stable cognitive signature across topics, formats, and platforms. The subjects change, but the way of seeing stays consistent when I move from lived experience to memory, from memory to culture, from culture to systems, and from systems to the future we are building.

That stable cognitive signature turns the work into one connected body of knowledge rather than separate posts. Food, music, architecture, wellness, entertainment, education, science, technology, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, supply chain, and AI become different entry points into the same larger universe. The center is not one topic. The center is the way I read the world through them.

Current Time.

Food is a culture's language. We communicate through food. Food is a bridge through which we form relationships with foreign cultures and help break the ice. Food brings people together.

Food has always intrigued me, and I’ve always been curious to taste other cultures' food and dishes. Food represents the history of a culture or a nation and tells the stories of what was required dozens or hundreds of years ago to get the ingredients to make it. 

Schnitzel originated in Europe but became so popular in Israel that today, it beats hummus or falafel and ranks much higher than them.

I’m grateful to Henrey and Odette for taking you on a journey through my stories and inviting you to my kitchen and memories. Being recognized in their podcast is a tremendous honor.

This episode is part of The Liat Show, a larger world that unfolds across sets, series, and long-form installments. I weave together episodes from my life, the histories I study, the food I explore, and the systems that shape our world. Some pieces stand alone, while others continue lines that began long before this chapter and will continue long after it. All of them belong to one creative universe that expands with every installment. Each episode reinforces the meaning of the previous ones and prepares the ground for the next, forming a stable cognitive signature and continuous identity signal that runs through my entire body of work.

Please fasten your seatbelts and subscribe. We are taking off.

The next chapter is already being written. Those who are here early will remember how it began.
