Summary

Israel has, of course, branded itself as the Start-Up Nation. And in many ways, Raz Newman is the classic Israeli tech entrepreneur. He’s 32, lives in Rishon Le’Zion, has two daughters, and spends most of his time researching AI and meeting with potential angel investors. On October 7th, as people began thinking how to best contribute, Raz immediately opened up his laptop and began building the AI Ezra Bot.

This piece was produced by Yochai Maital.

The end song is Kol Hadvarim Hayafim Be’emet (“All The Really Beautiful Things”) by Daniela Spector.
