JEWISH AGENCY EMISSARIES ABROAD WILL BE CONNECTED VIA SATELLITE TO NEWS BROADCASTS ON THE ISRAEL NETWORK The Jewish Agency is encouraging hundreds of its shlichim in the US to connect to Israel Network broadcasts via satellite in order to receive 24-hour a day updates on what's happening in Israel. Director-General of the Jewish Agency, Brigadier General (Res.) Giora Romm, says that Jewish Agency representatives are Israel's ambassadors abroad, and in light of the brisk pace of events in Israel and harsh criticism of Israel in the world, it is important that that they be updated and involved in what's going on in Israel on a daily basis. The Jewish Agency has sent shlichim and teachers to encourage aliyah and provide Jewish Zionist education throughout the world. Shlomo Wolpert, Director-General of the Israeli Network says that tens of thousands of Jews and Israelis abroad who wish to see news events in Israel in real time watch the networks broadcasts daily. "The Israeli Network brings the same pictures that their families see in Israel into their homes," he adds. The Israeli Network is a satellite TV channel that broadcasts Israeli subject matter to the US and Canada, including news and shows on current events such as Mabat, Sheva Vachetzi, Good Morning Israel, Popolitica, and Mishal Cham. The network is under the ownership of the IGB company, owned by Yitzchak Kaol, who serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Carden Communications, Marlez Communications, and the Hollywood company New Regency Productions owned by Arnon Milchin. The company has offices in Kfar Saba, Manhattan, and Los Angeles.
