We all have potential for greatness

October 21 is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s birthday! We thought we’d share this “throwback” photo of Bibi and brothers Iddo and Yoni.

When we see leaders on the world stage, we forget that they started out as little boys and girls like the rest of us.

These three Netanyahu brothers all grew up to serve in Sayeret Matkal (Special Forces Unit). Youngest brother Iddo became an accomplished doctor and author. Yoni (Yonatan) was the hero of the famous Entebbe raid who lost his life rescuing over 100 Israeli hostages.

We all know what happened to Bibi.

Raised in the home of Benzion and Tzila Netanyahu filled the young boys with idealism and tremendous potential.

But for all of us, like the Netanyahu brothers, it’s what we do with that potential that matters.

A Birthday represents the potential we were born with, and a time to reflect on that potential and what we can accomplish with it.

Mazel Tov and Happy Birthday Prime Minister!
