The Story of a Lifetime

This is an amazing story about the incredible life of Gidon Lev..I own the book, and this podcast just serves to bring his whole story to life in a heartfelt way. We are lucky to learn in the dust of Gidon's feet.

Superb podcast

This is a great podcast. If you enjoy your facts served straight up, with a side of whimsy, humor and sass, then listen to Julie Gray's THE TRUE ADVENTURES OF GIDON LEV. It's a super-accessible way in to understanding Israel and its place in the world. Julie is a pleasure to listen to, it's well written and full of fascinating history.
