What about my job?

SO, what about my job? 7 weeks in Israel and what are the first results?… During the time I am in Israel I am responsible for two things. Setting up the business here and selecting and keeping in touch with suppliers for approximately 12 countries in Europe. Both responsibilities have their progress. Two weeks ago it was decided that launch in Israel will not be in september but at the first of november., However this was a little of disappointment it is really better for the preparations and the programmers needed this time. Till now the results in Israel are that I have a  rather good insight in the Israeli market. I contacted many of the potential suppliers, of whom a couple did the first offers. In fact I try to have selected the suppliers in Israel and Europe before the end of october in order to be sure the implementation phase will be long enough. For Europe we have had a lot of offers and here I expect to fix my deadline for sure.So answer to the question: I am doing well and working well for being sure the my part is done to be ready for the launch in november. In January I will be able to say how business goes….

What did you eat?

Yesterday a great shabat evening with my family. Table full with food and among the 14 people 6 children younger than 7. Before dinner it was one big mess with a lot of screaming girls. It was one big and nice happening.

•   

 During dinner a  lot changed.  Children changed from happy and wild to a little bit sad… They did not eat and everybody was all the time asking the: what did you eat? Why don’t you eat anything? It was a little bit sad sometimes to see the fight getting the children fed.  In fact not only the children got these kind of questions: Love in our family comes through the belly and the food is great. After eating the biggest meal this week getting the question “Did you eat enough?” is a  little strange but you get used to it…. In the end I just can laugh about all the  concerns during the eating ceremony of the shabat….

Welcome in Israel

Tuesday July the 3rd in 2007 the ElAl airplane landed at 7.00 PM. The purpose was that my grandmother would pick us up from the airport. She was there, but forgot where she parked her car. This was a great start of course.However from this moment a completely new experience in my life started. This blog will report about my experiences in Israel. These are a mix of personal aspects, getting back to Israel, living in Tel Aviv, telling about the experiences concerning my first job and experiences around this and maybe some political things. Hope you’ll enjoy, but anyway feel free to share your thoughts!
