Chanukat Habayit WTA
About 9 years ago, I was introduced to the founding team of Westchester Torah Academy. At the time, I didn’t have any kids but was extremely interested in new models in Jewish education and ways to solve the “tuition crisis”. I was amazed in what they were looking to do using #technology , blended learning to change the game in Jewish education . When you say you are looking to build a school based on excellence in education and affordable Jewish education it seems like a oxymoron. The truth is you have to be willing to disrupt and look to future proof Jewish education for families. That is what WTA has done. I helped put together the first open house and over the years volunteered in different capacities. Now Michael is in 3rd grade and loving WTA. One day Ari will join him as well. This past year, WTA graduated their first 8th grade which was monumental . Today was another milestone where they had the Chanukat Habayit (grand opening) of their new campus. It was another incredible moment showing that with big ideas, committed donors and team you can accomplish anything. Thank you to the board, staff and donors who makes this all possible each day.

Innovation Alley: Yaron Bob
Yaron bob is an Israeli artists behind Rockets into Roses. He takes rockets landed in Israel and turns them into beautiful art. He brings light where there was darkness. His art is unique and meaningful. Each piece tells a story of survival and hope.
Yaron is a teacher and a part-time metal sculptor in Moshav Yated, Israel, makes roses out of Kassam rockets fired out of Gaza.
Mr. Bob had two close calls with rockets and he knew he needed to react to the terror that he and his community were facing.
Yaron wanted to create something that speaks of growth and prosperity and to make something out of the destruction and of the ruin of the Kassam.
The truth is because the rocket is an instrument of death he really didn’t want to handle it.
However, his frustration was intensifying with so many missiles falling on Israel and so many alarms.
The situation was very stressful on him and his family. “It finally struck me that I need to make a rose from the Kassam”, Yaron says. Now. Bob collects the spent rockets, most given to him by the police, after they have been checked by the bomb squad.
Israeli Artist Creates Beauty from War Materials
Each rose takes about three to four hours of turning and twisting the steel. Then, hand sculpting intricate petals and leaves on the rose. The sculpture’s base is a map of Israel with the rose growing out of the border with Gaza.
Although the rose, stem and base are made of Kassam remains, there is no sign the flower comes from rocket metal.
“I take the Kassam, the instrument of death and I change it, I transfer it into something of beauty.”
Bob is not a pacifist, but he would like Hamas to know talking is better than firing rockets and starting a war.
His goal is to somehow let the world know people in Israel are not hungry for war and what they really want is a bright and beautiful future.

Innovation Alley: SonoMask
Founded in 2013, Sonovia began its mission by fostering the global rights for development concerning a revolutionary sono-chemical coating methodology designed at the prestigious Bar Ilan Univeristy in Israel. The company proceeded to establish material strategic partnerships and initiatives targeted to support its scale-up efforts; in pursuit of the noble objective to dramatically combat the transmission and impact of Hospital Acquired Infections globally. Moreover, Sonovia presents a global solution to the textile industry in the form of its disruptive ultrasonic based, high performance, sustainable and cost competitive wet-processing application, by massively aiding in alleviating excess pollution and waste.
The applications of the technology therefore have the potential to dramatically reduce the transmission of disease caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses as the mechanisms by which zinc oxide nano-particles acts are universally bio-active against all microbes.
The SonoMask is reusable, washable, provides two-sided protection, and is proven to neutralize over 99% of COVID-19. Scientifically Proven, anti-microbial fabric ensures durable protection.Their proprietary zinc-coating upon their cotton-polyester blend is safe and tested to be effective even after being washed over 55 times.The SonoMask is produced with a soft, breathable fabric

Innovation Alley- Sonovia
Sonovia Ltd is an incredible #startupnation story. During #covid19 they have been at the forefront in helping protect people through their innovative #mask. #Israel #innovations at its best.
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Sonovia applied its anti-microbial technology to a line of Israeli manufactured PPE face masks that kill bacteria and fungi on contact.
Relative to its competitors, the SonoMask offers superior protection, re usability, and comfort.
Sonovia’s mask has been tested in EU laboratories, which successfully corroborated that its unique and permanent fabric impregnation of Zinc oxide nanoparticles have a strong anti-viral effect.
This emphasized that the mask works to deactivate 99.9% of viruses upon contact. The results further revealed that Sonovia’s mask has a 98% success rate for stopping aerosols that are five microns and bigger in diameter.
Sonovia has been featured in highly-acclaimed media outlets for its innovative masks. Last week, the company released a premium model for adults and a special fully adjustable model for children; both products of ongoing crowdsourcing initiatives.
Once treated, the SonoMask maintains its safe chemical properties for over 90 industrial washing cycles. This eliminates the need to habitually buy masks or filters, and therefore mitigates the environmental footprint of disposable masks.
Additionally, the SonoMask is capable of filtering particles up to 5 microns in accordance with the World Health Organization guidelines in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
I had the opportunity to speak with Dr Jason Migdal ,Microbiology R&D Strategist of Sonovia. Learn more at https://sonoviatech.com/
