IsraPalooza

To celebrate Yom Ha’Atzmaut in 2020, when countries around the world were issuing social-isolation and stay-at-home measures, we hosted IsraPalooza: a day-long virtual festival. Throughout the day – every hour, on the hour – we brought some of the most interesting voices on Israel, right into the homes of viewers around the world, exploring different sides of Israel and Israeli culture.
