This week on the podcast, I’m thrilled to bring you my conversation with Perry Le Greco. Perry is co-owner of my local Greek restaurant in Elsternwick, the Mediterranean Greek Tavern. He is one of the few non-Jewish people I know, who expressed his deepest sadness and regrets almost immediately following the terrorist acts of October 7 perpetrated against Israel by Hamas. As a result he almost lost everything. This is his story.
