Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Naomi Katz
Q: What role did the Shemesh project play in your career after the conflict and moving back to Israel?
Shemesh provided a structured path, mentorship, and a supportive community for artists from the periphery, helping me reconnect with the Israeli art world, launch exhibitions, and push my practice forward despite ongoing uncertainties.
Naomi Katz
Q: Can you share a bit about where you were on October 7 and how it affected your artistic process?
I was in New Jersey pursuing my MFA, far from home, and the events intensified the urgency to finish my work. It became a catalyst to reframe my thesis, drawing from the pain and the need to express resilience through my art.
Episode 2: Ronit Zimmer and the new beginning
Q: How has living in Israel changed you and shaped your work?
Her move to Israel stemmed from a desire to be part of Israeli society and to raise her family with a sense of freedom and connection to the land, which in turn influenced her focus on bridging Israelis and Palestinians through practical, human-centered initiatives.
Hagit Genish Gill
Q: How has the October 7 crisis influenced your personal and professional life, and what changes have you implemented since then?
It reinforced the importance of speaking up, supporting mental health and community resilience, and pushing for rapid, real-time philanthropic responses; it also deepened her commitment to mentoring and empowering others during and after crises.
Hagit Genish Gill
Q: What brought you to your current leadership position and how did your environment in Israel shape your path?
Her career blends public service and the private sector, with strong emphasis on education, resilience, and a willingness to pursue higher leadership roles, including balancing motherhood with advanced studies like an MBA.
