In this series, we will focus on Israeli MIT alumni and others who have played and continue to play a transformative role on Israeli society. Each speaker will discuss their personal stories, how MIT influenced them, professional challenges and how they overcame them, what boundaries they felt they broke through and what tools they used to do so, as well as advice for MIT students and alumni.
