Episode #36 dives into the chilling Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 in Southern Israel. Over 3000 terrorists unleashed hell, claiming the lives of 1200 civilians in their homes, cars, and the Nova Peace Festival, which is akin to America's Burning Man Festival.   Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by many countries, including the United States, the European Union, Canada, and Israel. This episode, recorded on November 17 before any hostage release, chronicles the brave escape led by 27-year-old Ofir. Running barefoot for miles, he guided friends to safety, but tragedy struck as he was separated and shot and now remains a hostage deep within Gaza.  Hodoya, Ofir's best friend, recounts the heart-wrenching tale. https://www.podpage.com/going-for-greatness-show/https://findinginspiration.substack.com/https://linktr.ee/goingforgreatnesspodcast#grit #podcast #inspire #resilency #challenge #entreprenuer #lifeskill

In the words of the late Doc Paskowitz, “People who surf together, can live together.”Arthur Rashkoven shares the amazing story of how he founded Surfing4Peace alongside Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, the grandfather of Israeli surfing, and how a group of surfers from Tel Aviv managed to gain worldwide attention."On July 27, 2007, The Los Angeles Times published an article by Louise Roug detailing the plight of Palestinian surfers living in the Gaza Strip and forced to share a single surfboard between them.  Within hours, Doc Paskowitz was on the phone with Arthur in Tel Aviv. They decided then and there that something had to be done.  After a few short weeks, the team had gathered 14 used surfboards from Israeli surf companies, for donation to the small but passionate surfing community in Gaza. "  In 2007, Surfing4Peace entered the fortresslike Erez crossing in Gaza for the purpose of bringing surfboards to Arab Surfers.   That area was a volatile security situation, and nobody had been allowed into the Gaza Strip since Hamas took over.  Since the militant group Hamas seized control of Gaza, the main commercial crossing has been closed, and many local industries have collapsed.
