Israel Story is a documentary-style radio show and podcast modeled after "This American Life." The Hebrew version is one of the most popular national shows in Israel. Their first English season was a huge success and was featured in the New York Times. Israel Story has put together an hour-long live adaptation of one of their most popular episodes, 48 Herzl Street. This multimedia performance - including live radio, animation, video, music and storytelling like you've never experienced before - will give audience members a unique, eclectic taste of the daily lives of Israelis. In this episode, they toured Israel, from Kiryat Shmona in the north all the way to Dimona in the south, and visited every single 48 Herzl St. They knocked on doors, heard stories, and met a fascinating cross-section of Israeli society, all living at the exact same symbolic address.
