Wi-Charge (Continuation from Israeli innovators …)

When I told my friend, who owns a smart lock, about the product, his ears perked up immediately. He mentioned that this was his biggest issue with his smart lock in India, and if a retrofit existed, he would jump at the chance to get one. [Shor M. Masori]

Attractiveness of life in U.S., Israel compared

Today, the above average financial position of many Jews continues but other aspects of normal life in American are deteriorating. This fact may not affect those who live in gated communities, but what about their grandchildren? Will they want to attend Harvard, Columbia, or NYU? Will they want to live in New York, where a Jew-hating mayor is eroding the position of Jews and their businesses? [Steve Kramer]
