Mission to Israel with Steve Adubato

Steve has returned from The Russell Berrie Civic Mission to Israel in which he had the opportunity to interview numerous high-level Israelis such as journalists, dignitaries and government officials including Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Sponsored by The Russell Berrie Foundation, this timely mission--as Israel is celebrating its 60 years of statehood--generated outstanding footage that will be used for a multi-part special series in which Steve highlights the accomplishments and challenges facing Israel and the connection to the United States, particularly to the NY/NJ region. This series will be broadcast as part of the Caucus Educational Corporation's 2008-2009 "Democracy Works" programming season, airing on Thirteen/WNET (PBS), NJN Public Television (PBS) and CN8-The Comcast Network.
