Jewish tradition teaches that in every generation there are 36 people upon whose kindness and righteousness the very existence of the world depends, but whose identity no one knows - not even the 36 themselves.

Justin Hayet scours Israel to find the 36 most wonderful, interesting people doing the most wonderful, interesting things with the aim of discovering what makes Israel such a remarkable source of goodness.

Thirty-Six is a production of SoulShop and Bnai Zion. “A wonderful and broad selection of interviewees. Justin conducts his interviews with kindness and respect and draws out those he is speaking with. After each interview, I wish I could meet Justin and his new friends.”
