Toldot Yisrael

Called by former Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren, “a project of paramount importance for Israel and its supporters worldwide,” Toldot Yisrael is a Jerusalem based nonprofit dedicated to recording and sharing the firsthand testimonies of the men and women who helped found the State of Israel. Since 2007, Toldot Yisrael has been interviewing the members of Israel’s 1948 generation in order to capture and preserve the epic story of Israel's founding before it is too late. So far, we have interviewed 1,400 of Israel's founders and recorded over 4,500 hours of powerful and unique footage. Toldot Yisrael’s aim is to conduct as many of these heroes as we can – while it is still possible.
