Imagine if your safe haven suddenly turned into a war zone. That's the stirring reality of our guest, Yosef Lapko, an Israeli now residing in America. Yosef opens up about the frightening situation in Israel, shaking emotions as he details the devastating attacks by Hamas that have claimed over 1,400 lives and injured nearly 10,000. Growing up amidst the serene beauty and robust culture of Israel, he paints a vivid picture of the crisis, the incredible resilience of the Israeli population, and the ways we can lend a hand to the affected people in his homeland.
We will unpack practical guidance on identifying credible charities to support and how to safeguard oneself from fraud when making donations. This is not merely a podcast episode—it's a call to action. So tune in, let's rise together, become the carriers of change, and contribute in our own ways to reconstruct a devastated region. The world needs you. Will you respond to the call? Won't you be the change you wish to see in this world?
