"Israel Story's mission is to promote a deeper understanding of - and connection to - Israel, through non-political, human-interest storytelling. - - Everything in this corner of the world changed on Saturday, October 7, 2023.

All around us, friends, family, colleagues, people have died. People are missing. People have been kidnapped. There’s a lot of uncertainty and we’re all involved in dozens of initiatives but we’re also going to bring you some voices and testimonies that try to paint a picture of these devastating times."
