NEW YORK – We just returned from Israel and my head is spinning with exhilaration and information. For the third time in two years, TALKERS magazine teamed up with America’s Voices in Israel to organize a talk radio tour of the dynamic Middle Eastern democracy for an intensive fact-finding mission. Each of these journeys has been an invaluable growth experience with this latest adventure pinning the meter in terms of sheer, intense productivity.
