Hey, Israel story listeners, it's Mishi.

So as you know we're in the middle of our new series, signed, sealed, delivered, which

is a deep dive into Megilatats' moment.

If you've been following the episodes, you'll know that each time we meet a different

signatory of Israel's declaration of independence through the recollections of their closest

living relatives.

To talk about the promise of the declaration, the places in which we delivered on that promise,

the places in which we exceeded our wildest dreams, and also about the places where we fell

short.

And it is through these descendants of the men and women who, with a strike of a pen,

gave birth to this country of ours, that we wish to learn something about ourselves.

Throughout the series, we're also going to be releasing a few extra episodes that examine

other aspects of the declaration of independence.

Now there were a lot of firsts on that Friday afternoon in May 1948.

After all, a new state came into existence.

But one first, a first that is, as radio people, very dear to our hearts, was the broadcast

itself.

See, the declaration of independence was not only the birth of a state, it was also the

birth of Israeli radio.

We'll be right back.
