Jewish tradition teaches that in every generation there are 36 people upon whose kindness and righteousness the very existence of the world depends, but whose identity no one knows - not even the 36 themselves.

Justin Hayet scours Israel to find the 36 most wonderful, interesting people doing the most wonderful, interesting things with the aim of discovering what makes Israel such a remarkable source of goodness.

Thirty-Six is a production of SoulShop and Bnai Zion. “A wonderful and broad selection of interviewees. Justin conducts his interviews with kindness and respect and draws out those he is speaking with. After each interview, I wish I could meet Justin and his new friends.”

0:00.0	Three in the morning she wakes up, Chuck's a pillow at me, and says,
0:04.2	Aria, we've lived our lives based upon the wrong philosophy all of this time.
0:08.0	Oh my gosh.
0:09.0	And I turned to her, I'm like, what?
0:10.0	Right, we're not exactly getting a normal night night sleep at this point in time.
0:14.4	She goes, who are we to decide what the right time is?
0:17.6	Well, come back to Inspiration for the Nation.

0:30.2	know before this episode the nitty, what actually happened on that iconic flight

1:21.6	treaty as they should be mentioned but he's someone that you
