Send us a textThe first portrayal of the Philistines can be seen in the reliefs of the Medinet Habu monument. It shows their warriors, but also their women and children on ox-carts. They came to conquer, but also to live. They fought and contributed culturally, bringing their influences from the Aegean. But were they just a bunch of foreign invaders, or were they migrants integrating into the local culture? Support the show

#77 | הלל דמלין מסוויס רי בלהיות מבטח משנה בין הגדולים בעולם
הייתה לי הזכות לארח את הלל דמלין מסוויס רי, בין 2 המבטחות משנה הגדולות בעולם המנהל את הסניף המקומי כאן בארץ (אבל אחראי על עוד מספר מדינות), זו הייתה שיחה מרתקת, כי לא כל הזמן אנחנו שומעים מבטח משנה ואת תובנותיו ושבסופו של דבר משפיע על כולנו, החל באיך מתמחרים את הסיכון, הכיסויים שניתן לתת, הידע שחולקים וכמובן נזקים קטסטרופליים. היה לי מרתק לא פחות, בגלל החשיפה שהילל דיבר על עולם הבריאות, דיברנו על ביטוחים סיעודיים, מחלות ואיך לא גם על הקורונה וכיצד זה משפיע על מבטח משנה. מצורפות כאן ההמלצות של הלל, תהנו! פודקאסטים: Good fellows - Hoover institution Huberman Lab The History of the land of Israel -Shaiel Ben Ephraim ספרים: Leadership: six studies in world history (Kissinger) Legal Systems very different from ours: Friedman Moreh Nevuchim The geek way
