Shalom everyone. I'm Amir Tsar Fati, and this is one more episode of our anchor podcast,

The Anchor that is our hope in this troublesome time. And today here in the Jesual

Valley, we have the honor of hosting Rawan Osman, one of the loudest and the most courageous

voices from originally the Arab world, from not far away from this part of our country, born in Damascus, raised in Lebanon,

and now living in Europe and basically making a difference all over the world with her sound and clear voice,

not only against anti-Semitism, but also a voice that is calling for so much unity and hope that we can find if people will be people who think for themselves, who educate themselves, and understand the times and the seasons in which we live.

So, without further ado, Rawan, Shalom, and welcome to our studio.

Shalom, thank you for having me, Amir.

Yes, we tried to get you quite a few times over here because honestly, I'll be very honest with you.

I never heard about you until October 7th, and ever since October 7th, I get to see you almost every day on social media.

I know that you travel the world.

I know that you come to Israel very often.

And later on, you may tell us your journey all the way from not far from here to this country.

But let's start with a short introduction because you have a super

unusual story that very few people go through. And I wish it would be more of that.

But tell us a little bit about who are you? Where are you from

and what brought you to where you are today? Happily. Again, thank you, Amir, especially for your

patience, you and your team. We've been trying to do this for more than a year now. You haven't

heard about me before October 7th because I was invisible.

I had a very low profile and according to my son, I was a dinosaur on social media.

I thought it was a waste of time until I saw how Hamas are using social media as a very effective tool to expand, to promote their narrative and to bash Israel.

So about me, for those who don't know me, I'm Rowan Osman.
