The Greater Context by VAYOMAR with Ariel Halevi

He holds a doctorate in Identity Studies and is proactive about everything linked to learning... introducing Daniel Aschheim , Israel's Consul in Chicago.

We sat down to chat about what makes for the perfect balance between having talent, traits, and good old-fashioned luck, and securing the right teacher, at the right time. We also delved into the link between the saying “Every Sabbath has an after-Sabbath” and diplomacy, and whether the digital age has helped or harmed interpersonal communication? How has it influenced diplomats? How have Covid-19 and the digital era influenced us, our identities, and our uniqueness?

And, most importantly, Daniel revealed what he's currently working on and what plans he has for Israeli diplomacy.
