Are you the type to jump right in to help when someone asks? What if the person is a Major Daniel Jacobs in the IDF? What if it's in the middle of the war and Major Jacobs needs something as basic as army boots for his unit?
But what if sourcing boots and shipping them oversees has nothing to do with your line of work?
For Yakir Wachstock, it was a no brainer. Someone needed help. Lots of people needed help. He had direct resources and got to work!
Listen to this episdoe to hear about the phonecall that Yakir got at 2:00 am, that changed the trajectory of his life. How he enlisted the help of so many willing people along the way to make the donation of thousands of boots possible.
To throw in some extra spice, as uncommon as Yakir's name is, so many people who crossed paths with him during this time, shared his name too!
What is the future of "boots for Israel" as Yakir sees it?
Listen until the end to find out, as well as Yakir's true desire in life ~ what propels him forward in his passion for showing up in life, and making Hashem his partner in it all.
