Am 29. November 2023 um 19 Uhr fand unsere Women´s Division Veranstaltung mit der Gastsprecherin Haleli Shomer Shalom in dem Salon unserer Gastgeberin Steffi Beiner unter dem Motto „Manage dein Geld und unterstütze Israel“ statt. Hanita Ajnwojner (stellvertretende Geschäftsführerin) begrüßte die Gäste und stellte die Israel Bonds.
Die israelische Finanzexpertin hat uns in einem interaktiven Vortrag sehr motivierend über die Achtsamkeit und den Umgang mit Geld berichtet und die Bedeutung der Finanzplanung für Frauen betont. Ihr Motto ist: Jeder kann der Verwalter ihrer Finanzen sein. Man benötigt keinen Abschluss in Wirtschaftswissenschaften oder einen MBA. Sie wird angetrieben von der Energie und dem Glauben an die starken und intelligenten Frauen, mit denen sie zusammenarbeitet, die aktiv werden, ihre Finanzen kontrollieren und alle Teile ihres Puzzles zusammensetzen.
In dieser Vorlesung konzentrierte sich Haleli auf den Einstieg, die Planung für „Rainy Day“-Szenarien sowie die Strukturierung der Renten für den Ruhestand und darauf, wie man bei der Beurteilung der allgemeinen finanziellen Gesundheit Prioritäten zwischen Bedürfnissen und Wünschen setzt.

Im Lichte des 75. Jubiläums Israels
June 07, 2023
On the 7th of June 2023, the New Leadership Division of Israel Bonds International in Germany visited the new building of Axel Springer SE, Europe’s largest digital and periodical publishing house.
During the guided tour by Tobias Blanken, Advisor to the Editor-in-Chief and Management of the TV news channel Die WELT, the group was able to look behind the scenes of the media business that never sleeps.
The tour was followed by a discussion with Dr. Jan Philipp Burgard, Editor-in-Chief, Die WELT, and His Excellency Ambassador Ron Prosor, Ambassador of the State of Israel in Germany.
Due to current events happening in real time, the program was changed at short notice. Anti-Israel posters with inflammatory content could be seen around Neukölln, Berlin, and because Ambassador Prosor was already in the building, the opportunity was taken for a live interview on the incident.
The invited guests of Israel Bonds New Leadership were able to experience firsthand how deftly, adeptly, and professionally the media must work and were eyewitness to this dynamic interview.
Dr. Burgard and Ambassador Prosor held a lively conversation in the screen-lined newsroom, entertaining several interesting questions from the audience. Dr. Burgard and Ambassador Prosor generously availed themselves afterward for a “meet & greet” allowing the guests to better get to know them.

Fiscalité comparée et investissement
February 22, 2023
On the 22nd of February 2023, Israel Bonds International in France held an intimate conference on “Fiscalité Comparée et Investissements” with long-time lay leader, David Sillam, at the Élie Dray Synagogue (known locally as “Saint-Honoré Synagogue”).
Mr. Sillam, CPA, Auditor & Tax Advisor, sits on the Board of the synagogue and is well respected both professionally, and for his commitment to Élie Dray Synagogue. With the support of the Rabbi and synagogue President, he generously offered to donate his time to discuss taxation and investments.
The conference began just after the evening service with ~35 people in attendance. Rabbi Zini warmly welcomed the guests and gave opening words insisting on the obligation not only to try and live in Israel (when possible), but also to strengthen the State of Israel.
Mr. Sillam gave a clear and thorough talk with many opportunities for questions. The informative Q & A spanned taxation differences between France and Israel, to how to handle Israel Bonds holdings in the case of making Aliyah. The discussion was so engaging, it continued into the cocktail hour.
Israel Bonds is very grateful to Mr. Sillam for a very enlightening and dynamic evening and to Élie Dray Synagogue for hosting the event.
