Rabbi's Message
Noach. A complicated biblical figure. He lived in two distinct eras and was defined differently in each. He is known as an " Ish Tzaddik" - a righteous figure. He is also known as an "Ish Adama" - a man of the earth.

Rabbis have debated for generations whether or not Noach was an "All-Time" great or just a situational one. It's hard to know exactly.

In the end of the day, there is an entire Torah portion named for him, he is called righteous, and the people of the world around us are referred to as "Bnei Noach." He must have done something right.

We are all concerned about our legacies. We study the legacies of others to hopefully shape the direction of our own. There is much we can learn from Noach in this regard.

Shabbat Shalom

Sivan Ya'ari
Founder and CEO
Innovation Africa

Sivan Ya'ari is the Founder and CEO of Innovation: Africa, a NY based nonprofit that brings Israeli solar, agricultural and water technologies to rural African villages. She was born in Israel, raised in France, and educated in the United States with degrees in Finance from Pace University and a Masters in International Energy Management and Policy from Columbia University. At the mere age of 20, Sivan identified an opportunity for a more sustainable energy solution, and developed the groundwork for what would become Innovation: Africa. Having worked in Africa for over 20 years, Sivan has vast knowledge, experience, understanding and love for the African continent. Through her work, over 1,000,000 lives in the most remote villages have been impacted, thanks to Israeli innovation. In addition, Innovation: Africa has received many awards, including the Innovation Award from the United Nations. Most recently, Sivan has been recognized as one of the "40 Under 40 Most Promising Israelis" by Globes magazine and one of the "50 Most Influential Women in Israel” by Forbes Israel, and one of the "Top 10 Most Influential Israelis in International Business, Science and Culture 2017" by NoCamels. Aside from running Innovation: Africa, Sivan is a prominent business woman in Israel. In 2010, Sivan opened the first chain of nail salons in Israel. By the time she sold the chain in January 2018, iSpa Express was operating in 10 locations throughout the country and employed 160 female workers. Sivan lives in Tel Aviv with her husband and 3 children.
