In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast , we talk to philanthropist David Magerman and his daughter Sydney, who decided to make aliyah while on her gap year in Israel. In this episode we discuss: What should we do with the freedom we’ve been given? What is it like to make the journey toward Orthodoxy as a family? What is it like to make aliyah when one’s family is in America? Tune in for a conversation about building bridges and pipelines across generations and geography. Interview begins at 11:57. David Magerman is the co-founder and managing partner of Differential Ventures, a seed-stage venture capital firm focused on AI, machine learning, and data science. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University and brings over 25 years of experience in data-driven research and innovation. Previously, he was a founding member and head of production for the equities trading group at a quantitative hedge fund.
