Where it Begins 39th Issue with Miri-Ben-Ari on Cover

Six years ago, I embarked on a journey to create a platform that celebrates the power of storytelling and the resilience of the human spirit. That journey became Where It Begins magazine. What started as a simple idea—a magazine to highlight real stories, meaningful journeys, and incredible talent—has now grown into something truly special. With each issue, we’ve captured the essence of inspiration, one story at a time, and with this 39th edition, the magic continues.

This latest issue features none other than the extraordinary Miri Ben-Ari on the cover. Miri isn’t just a violinist; she’s a force of nature. A producer, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur, her artistry and innovation have pushed boundaries and brought the world of music into new realms. Her story is one of brilliance, creativity, and perseverance, and I couldn’t be more honored to showcase her journey.

Inside this issue, you’ll find a collection of stories brimming with talent. From rising stars to seasoned professionals, the pages are a testament to the drive and passion that fuel success. Each person featured has their own “beginning,” a unique path that brought them to where they are today. Through their stories, we’re reminded of the importance of chasing our dreams, embracing our challenges, and celebrating our victories.

This 39th magazine marks a milestone for me, not just in numbers but in growth. Each issue reflects the dedication, late nights, and passion poured into sharing stories that matter. It’s been an incredible six years, filled with inspiring moments and connections that have left a lasting impact. Where It Begins isn’t just a magazine; it’s a testament to the beauty of beginnings and the power of storytelling.

As I look back on this journey, I’m filled with gratitude for the contributors, readers, and visionaries who’ve supported Where It Begins. With this latest issue, I hope you’re inspired as much as I am by the talent and determination of those we feature. Here’s to many more issues and endless stories waiting to be told.
