David Ze’ev Jablinowitz landed in Israel in 1981 after completing his degree in writing from Queens College in New York. After first anchoring newscasts and hosting science and sports programs, he covered the Demjanjuk war crimes trial in 1987 and ’88. In June 1989, he became Knesset correspondent, and has covered diplomatic and political beats during the terms of Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert, and Binyamin Netanyahu. In addition, he’s worked as an Israeli consultant for BBC, Reuters, Sky News, and periodically reports for CBS Radio. Over the past few years, David has added a new dimension to telling

l of the Israeli experience: instead of just the news, David has shared the slice of life. Instead of politicians, he has told of the real, regular e people on the buses, the markets, the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and wherever stories come his way. If the stories don’t come his way, he looks for them.

Says David: “Life in Israel can feel like a roller coaster. For me, T covering the hard news and soft stories of this country has been David Ze’ev Jablinowitz quite a ride, and I hope I don’t have to get off anytime soon.” a Hear David speak at 3:00 p.m. in the sanctuary at the Jewish Cultural Festival.
