Op-Ed: Lessons from the Brutal Truth of Steve Jobs

by Shmuley Boteach – Algemeiner

Steve Jobs

I had used a Macintosh since I was 19 but after Jobs’ was kicked out of Apple I gravitated to his new invention which blew the Mac away. As Rabbi at Oxford, I regularly hosted world leaders to lecture to our students and I had to have Jobs. So I arranged a meeting with one of his top lieutenants and traveled to Redwood City, California.
