In our latest webinar with KIEDF, Sheryl Sandberg joined iAngels Founding Partner Shelly Hod Moyal and Adi Azaria to discuss practical capital for Israel's recovery. Sheryl offered a powerful perspective on leadership and resilience, rooting her support for Israel in both her personal Jewish identity and her professional expertise in global economics. She described her refusal to remain silent about the sexual violence of October 7th, dismissing the professional backlash she faced as trivial compared to the suffering of the victims, and endorsed the Koret model of microfinance as a crucial "high ROI" strategy for rebuilding the nation's economic fabric. However, the most inspiring aspect of her message was her raw vulnerability regarding personal trauma; drawing a parallel between the national grief of war and the sudden death of her husband, she utilized the metaphor of Kintsugi, Japanese pottery repaired with gold, to champion the concept of post-traumatic growth. Her insistence that the Jewish community, though broken, has the capacity to reassemble itself "stronger than it was before" transformed a conversation about financial aid into a profound call for emotional and communal renewal.
