help get them money."
Today, Mr. Kalish, who left
Tel Aviv to cfeate his company
in Jerusalem, is continuing to
build his enterprise. He recent-
ly spearheaded JG's initiative
in Asia by hiring an expert in
Chinese — a 24-year-old Co-
lumbia University graduate —
and is now considering a merg-
ers-and-acquisitions depart-
ment.
So is this it? Has Shlomo
Kalish found the meaning he is
looking for? When asked "what's
next?", he merely shrugs his
head, as if to say he doesn't
know. But it's safe to bet some-
thing is brewing.

to a personal search for fulfill-

to feel that academia was "ir-
relevant" and that running a
business would be a greater con-
tribution to the local economy.
"Israeli engineers are maybe
the best in the world, but Is-
raelis don't know how to do busi-
ness in the rest of the world.
