The Prime Minister’s wife, Gilat Bennett, addressed the Knesset today (Monday) as part of the International Women’s Day events.
“Esther chose to wear a kingdom even before she became a queen. Even before the king handed her the scepter. She did not know that was what would happen. She wore a kingdom, and once a woman wears a kingdom she creates reality. Once you know that what you have decided is the right thing for you, though No one can about you, “Gilat Bennett began her speech.
She added: When my children were small, it was very important to me to pick them up from kindergarten, spend time with them, and be the best mother I can be. But I also had the pressure that I had to fulfill myself and continue to develop personally. I was constantly experiencing loss and guilt. If I was at work, I felt like I was losing the kids, and if I was with the kids, I felt like I was not investing enough in the work. And so, even when I was with the kids I was restless. No matter where I looked I saw a loss. For years I was afraid to leave work and close the business I had because I felt it would be considered a failure, and I was not able to be in this place. “

The Prime Minister’s wife told about the decision that made her leave her job and study parental guidance: I decided to leave and started studying parental guidance. I worked hard and discovered that I have the ability to help and contribute to others. This field attracted me and I found myself very invested, enjoying and feeling that I am developing and also having a positive impact on a lot of families. Somehow, one day, I stopped feeling guilty when I met my kids at the end of the day – even when there were more hours with a babysitter. When I entered the house full of joy, from what I had created, then all I wanted was to just shower them with love. I had the energies to invest in them, and I felt I was a better mother to them than I had ever been. Today I realize I needed to be in a job that allows me to evolve and fulfill myself, which the previous job did not. When I was in the right place for me – it was right for everyone.
In conclusion she said: “For every woman it can be a different thing, for one, the right thing will be to be only with the children, for another, it will be a career. When I do the thing I believe in I wear royalty. When I am satisfied with what I do and what I choose, also The rest of the family will be happy.Our ability to turn from managed, and perhaps sad, women into happy women leading a change with all the power we need to bring to the world, has to do with how much we back ourselves and understand that our good depends only on us. “It’s not like that! Esther made her choice and at that moment she became queen. She was ready for anything to come, with the belief that she was doing the right thing – and she succeeded. May you all have a happy woman’s day and a happy Purim.”
