Israel:
A selection of chapters exploring the birth, evolution and meaning of our modern Jewish State.
I1: Fallen soldiers - One day a year we dedicate to the memory of
those who have died in the defence of the State
of Israel. Let the lights go down as The
Jampacked Bible presents a play in their memory... (3:4)
I2: Remembering soldiers - Every year in the springtime,
Jews from all over the world celebrate one of
the happiest days in the calendar -
Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day,
or Israel's birthday. This looks at Israel's birth from the painful delivery, to the celebration of the birth and shows how both joy and sorrow are inextricably linked in this occasion. (4:10)
I3: Independence Day - For such a young country, Israel has achieved a great deal. How was independence gained and how do we commemorate such a dramatic event? (1:7)
I4: Israel today - The dramatic achievements of the last 50 years have given us a thriving independent Jewish state. Herzl said 'If you will it, it is no dream' and he was right! (4:8)

The Jampacked Bible listens in on a chat
that tries to make sense of it all. (2:9)
