VisionTV is planning to honour the 60th anniversary of the founding of Israel with a week of special programming devoted to the past, present and future of the Jewish state.

Ad inventory is still available for the multi-faith network’s ‘Israel at 60’ event, which begins on Monday, May 5. Highlights include the world premiere of the new documentary series Ralph Benmergui: My Israel; a first look at the new season of The Naked Archaeologist; and the Canadian premiere of a feature-length documentary entitled The Six Day War.

More information on Benmergui’s new series may be found at www.myisraelshow.com, which features trailers, a blog and links to the show’s Facebook group, Beliefnet page and YouTube channel.

Complete details on the week’s Israel-themed programming are available at http://www.visiontv.ca/Media/Releases/IsraelWeek.html.
