Israeli Trailblazers Show
Strangers shape your daily life — and you never knew their names. Every episode, you meet an Israeli innovator, researcher, or thinker whose breakthrough you already rely on. Wildfires stopped before the trucks leave the station. Cancer caught in five minutes, from your couch. Seizures predicted hours early. All from a country the size of New Jersey — the one the world can't stop arguing about. Elon Musk calls Israel #1 in innovation per capita. So why don't we know these names? Host Jennifer Weissmann introduces you to the people behind the tech that's helping your daily life — and by the end of each episode, you'll learn something new and see the world a little differently.

How the 'I'm That Jew' Campaign Reached 300 Million People — Eitan Chitayat
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When a community's identity is consistently represented through conflict, tragedy, and controversy, the people inside that community face a choice: accept the representation, or build a different one. Eitan Chitayat built a different one. The "I'm That Jew" campaign invited Jewish people worldwide to claim their own story publicly — and reached 300 million people across social media. This conversation is about what motivated it, how it was built, and what it suggests about the relationship between personal identity and public narrative at a moment when that relationship feels especially consequential.
