Our Long Play today is a conversation with Daniel Schreiber. In addition to being the co-founder and CEO of Lemonade, Daniel is the Founder and Chairman of the Mosaic Institute for AI Policy, an Israel-based nonprofit aiming to ensure that the AI revolution will be harnessed to shore up and grow the economy, rather than destroy it. With a look at history, Daniel, Yael, and Yonatan discuss how a future Israel economy might fare in an automated world between the risks of massive workforce displacement and the potential of turbocharged productivity.

Michal is away for the month of January. In her stead, Yonatan will be joined by Yael Wissner-Levy as co-host.

🔎And our Long Play today is a conversation with friend of the show investor Michael Eisenberg to talk about a recent piece he wrote in SAPIR Journal titled “Building Israel’s Trillion Dollar Economy.” Michael’s core argument is that Israel can (and must) double its GDP over the next 10 years, but that the growth drivers that got the economy to its current point won’t be enough to get it to this next milestone. We speak to Michael about his proposals and how he thinks Israel can continue to grow in the future. (And for more, please see the link to his article in SAPIR here: https://sapirjournal.org/money/2025/building-israels-trillion-dollar-economy/)

📈Our WYNDEX update for today:

The WYNDEX is down .8%, almost in line with the S&P and showing better performance than NASDAQ by 1.07%. Notable in the green this week is defense giant ELBIT with a 6.3% rise, completing a 99.5% increase year-to-date and trading at a $24 billion market cap. In the red we have ZIM, which continues to lose steam as it struggles to find a suitable acquirer, and eToro, which closed the week down 11.76% (40% below its IPO number).

🔎And our Long Play today is a conversation with Natti Ginor, head of Israel Investment Banking at Jefferies. Last month, the investment firm - which is very active in the country - published a year-end report on the Israeli market called “Next-Gen Middle East: Israel’s role in shaping a tech future.” In this episode, we ask Natti to share some of the highlights of the report, giving listeners a snapshot not just of tech but overall market & economic fundamentals in Israel over the last year.
