Drawing on his own childhood in the northern city of Nahariya,, 8 miles from the Lebanon boarder,  during the First Lebanon War, multi-generational family stories of the iconic Soglowek lineage, and two decades of leadership experience as a decorated IDF specialist and an IDF Intelligence contractor, Soglowek translates military-grade principles of resilience, critical thinking, and moral clarity into powerful, practical parenting strategies that any family—Jewish or not—can implement today.

“The same mindset that produces elite combat soldiers and unicorn-startup founders is forged long before basic training or the first pitch deck,” says Soglowek. “It starts at home: strong family identity, rules and early exposure to controlled challenges, relentless encouragement of independent thinking, and viewing parenting as an infinite game measured in decades. That is the Israeli advantage.”
