REAL FREE WI-FI, NO DOWNTIME!

Muslim Quarter, Jerusalem.
Walking down the main road of one of Tel Aviv's main shopping avenues, something happens on your phone. It picks up an open Wi-Fi network and, when you click on, it connects directly through to the internet. No payment, no subscription, no password, no credit card. According to Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai, installing a free network demonstrates the city's aim of being a leader in innovation. But it doesn't stop there; whither in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem in an ancient shop called Sinjlawi, on a bus or any of the places you'd expect it to be, you'll find there's free Wi-Fi. This has a simple implication: for someone trying to start or run a business, travel no longer means downtime. (Image: Copyright Control)

A GLASS HOUSE IN BUDAPEST...

Moshe Kraus.
In 1986, a 78-year-old man named Moshe Kraus died in Jerusalem. He was never commemorated in any way nor is he mentioned in any Holocaust encyclopedias. But Moshe Kraus is responsible for the largest rescue operation ever undertaken during the Holocaust. At a very conservative estimate, historians put the figure at 40,000 men,women and children. The story of the Glass House is one of the most fascinating historical events of that era; and much like the man behind the operation, this event has somehow evaded public attention and never received the recognition it deserved.
