    Aliyah Pathways Ep.11 | From High-Tech to Laughter - hosting Abi Gantz
    Jun 22 2026

    On paper your life looks fine. So why are you falling apart? If you’re an oleh/olah in Israel, juggling work, toddlers, sirens, miluim, money stress and zero family support nearby, you’re not imagining it. Your system is overloaded.

    In this episode of Aliyah Pathways, Dr. Dahlit Brin has a very honest and open conversation with Abi Gantz, a former high-tech marketing manager who walked away from a demanding career after her body started screaming: “Enough.”

    Today, Abi is a laughter workshop facilitator, using fake laughter and breath work to help people reduce stress, calm their nervous system, and slowly rebuild resilience from the inside out.


    What we explore in this episode:

    • The quiet warning signs of burnout your body gives you long before you “collapse”

    • How “just pushing through” as an oleh/olah can turn into a health crisis

    • Being vs. doing. Why high-achieving Olim struggle to stop, feel, and listen

    • The science behind sustained “fake” laughter and how it changes your physiology

    • How laughter affects your nervous system, immune system, and mood

    • Why connection and community are essential in times of war, anxiety, and uncertainty

    • Simple micro-practices you can do today to feel a little lighter without embarrassing yourself

    This episode is for you if…

    • You’re an oleh/olah feeling exhausted, anxious, or constantly “on edge”

    • You’re functioning at work and with your kids, but inside you feel numb or overwhelmed

    • You’ve noticed physical signs, e.g. headaches, brain fog, low patience, emotional outbursts

    • You’ve been “the strong one” for everyone, and you’re tired of pretending you’re fine

    • You’re curious how laughter, breath and presence can support your mental health

    • You want gentle, practical tools you can do at home, in the office, or even in the car

    Aliyah Pathways Ep.10 | From Oleh to Entrepreneur. How to Build Your Business in Israel without loosing Your Way - hosting Rony Com
    May 22 2026

    Starting your business in Israel can be exciting, full of opportunity, and also incredibly confusing.

    In this episode of Aliyah Pathways, Dr. Dahlit Brin speaks with Rony Com, a veteran oleh from Russia, serial entrepreneur, and Founder & CEO of Digital Hunters.

    Together, they explore what olim need to know before starting or growing a business in Israel, from Israeli business culture, networking, bureaucracy, and partnerships to pricing, value, and the unique strengths olim bring to the Israeli market.

    You’ll hear why a great idea is not always enough, why Rony says “don’t be a hero,” and how local guidance, the right network, and learning by doing can save you time, money, and unnecessary frustration.

    This episode is for you if you are thinking about starting your own business in Israel, already building one, or simply trying to understand how opportunity really works in the Start-Up Nation.
