Shalom Chanoch is one of the best rockers in Israel, if not the greatest. He took the hard rock in Israel to a totally different level, even though it wasn’t in the mainstream at that time. These days he is celebrating a decade of his music career, which began with a very successful acoustic concert.
Noam Gershony
ORT Dafna On December - 22 - 2011
A bit more than five years ago, during the Second Lebanon War, the helicopter of the IDF soldier Noam Gershony had crashed. His partner in the helicopter died, and he got hurt and broke almost every bone in his body. After half a year of hospital admission he began his rehabilitation. These days he is handicapped in both legs.
Is Jerusalem a Part of Israel?
ORT Dafna On December - 18 - 2011
Well, that depends on how you look at it. On the one hand, Israel says that Jerusalem is its capital city. On the other hand, the Palestinians say that Jerusalem should be a part of the future Palestine. And only the USA says… well, both.
My Israeli Hero
ORT Guttman On December - 18 - 2011
My hero is my great grandfather, Philip Brett, who served in the Jewish Legion during the First World War in Palestine.
A True Israeli Hero

A Blue and White Superman
ORT Motzkin On December - 17 - 2011
When you say the words “Israeli hero” you probably imagine some kind of a blue and white superman, someone who was born and grew up in Israel and dedicated his life for the country and in the end died for it, but Daniel Lewin is not exactly what you would expect. He was the first person to die on the day of the 9/11 terror attacks in the USA.
