Shalom everyone. I'm Amir Zarfati here from Connect in Galilee. And welcome to another chapter of our anchor podcast. Today with me, Sammy Yehoud, a what I call social media warrior, Krav Maga instructor,

and an outspoken activist. Shalom Sammy, how are you?

Amir, thank you for inviting me. I'm doing great. You missed out a proud Brit. A proud Brit, exactly, but you moved to Israel, you're in Israeli right now, you speak Hebrew.
