Water Gen, owned by Israeli businessman Michael Mirilashvili, stationed a new device made by the company in Central Square next to the police station. The revolutionary Israeli technology, which transforms air into high quality drinking water, was created as a way of overcoming water scarcity. This will be especially helpful in Brazil, a country with more than 250 million inhabitants.The chief rabbi of Sao Paulo came to say “L’chaim” over a glass of water with Mirilashvili and his wife Laura. Water Gen is considered one of the most promising Israeli companies, and in the past received an award for its breakthrough technology from CES and the World Economic Forum.The SlaveThe Gesher Theater Fellows attended the festive premiere of the play The Slave, an adaptation for the stage of the timeless novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer, directed by Yevgeny Aryeh.Welcoming the guests were: Nili Zohar and chair of the theater, Adv.
