Join host Abigail Pogrebin for an inspiring conversation with Mishy Harman, creator and host of the acclaimed podcast Israel Story. Often described as "the Israeli This American Life," Israel Story brings to life the extraordinary, surprising, and deeply human stories of people across Israel, revealing the complexities and richness of Israeli society beyond the headlines. In this episode of In The Spotlight, Mishy shares how the podcast began as a passion project among friends, why storytelling matters now more than ever, and how personal narratives can bridge divides and deepen understanding — within Israel and around the world. Don’t miss this intimate, thoughtful look at the power of stories to connect us all. *** JBS is a non-profit, Jewish educational television and multimedia channel made possible by VIEWERS LIKE YOU! *** Discover more JBS @ https://jbstv.org Please help us sustain our programming by visiting: https://jbstv.org/jbs-donation-form Find JBS on your TV Provider, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku by visiting: https://jbstv.org/find-us Watch Live on our website: https://jbstv.org/watch-live Download the JBS App or listen on the go wherever you get your Podcasts!
