1. Headline: Former Commander Of The Israeli Air Force Eliezer Shkedy
The meaning of Israel is different to every individual, and Israeli Independence Day marks the time in which the stories that shape that meaning come to light. This week, I had the chance to sit down with the former commander of the IAF, Eliezer Shkedy, and when I asked him what Independence day means to him; he told me what is perhaps one of the greatest stories I’ve ever heard.

2. Headline: Venezuelan-israeli Food Extraordinaire Tal Dubitski
Alright my friends, I hope you’re hungry because apart from the endless celebrations, Israeli Independence Day marks the time to take out your silverware and get ready to eat. We went deep into the Israeli market, “Shuk Ha-Carmel” to meet Tal Dubitski; the young man who’s using street food to bring his home country of Venezuela to the people of Israel. Because, after all, what would this beautiful country be without the impact of its new immigrants?

“Anachnu Ba-Mapa. Anachnu Nisharim Ba Mapa. Gam Be-Sport, Ve-Gam Be-Hakol.” Have you ever heard that saying in Hebrew? Well it’s perhaps one of the most iconic in Israeli history; and here’s the incredible part. It all came out of the mouth of an American-Jewish basketball player, who changed the course of Israeli history by choosing to follow a dream bigger than just his basketball career.
