64: Tell Saki – Part II
It’s been fifty years since the Yom Kippur War. And as such, we want to share our Tell Saki project, which first came out in 2021. Over the course of two episodes, we go back to the horrors of the war, and specifically to one small hill in the Southern Golan Heights where - over the course of thirty-six hours - a group of young IDF soldiers went to hell and back.

36: “Mixtape” Part I – Our Hope?
Israel is obviously in the midst of a deep identity crisis at the moment. The national debate is focusing on all sorts of rifts, or fault lines, within society. And we actually explored those very same fault lines in our beloved 2018 miniseries, Mixtape. So while we take a short summer break, we are rereleasing those Mixtape episodes.
We'll be back soon to continue our exploration of what it means to be a Jewish and democratic state in our year-long “Signed, Sealed, Delivered?” series, in which we go back to the founding principles upon which Israel was created, and try - through the eyes of its framers - to map where we came from, and where we’re headed.
