Jennifer Weissmann Season 5 Episode 58

How does a tiny country in the desert become a global leader in healing, high-tech, and hope?  What if the media has it all wrong about Israel?  From pioneering agritech, water-saving technologies, AI and cyber defense, to building prosthetics for terror survivors, Israel isn’t just surviving — it’s sharing what it’s learned with the world.
