Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday.

The Times of Israel's partner podcast Israel Story joins the Daily Briefing for a special Independence Day episode. We hear Israel Story creator Mishy Harman and producer Mitch Ginsburg discuss their new project, "Signed, Sealed and Delivered?" with host Amanda Borschel-Dan.

The 40-odd episode series, still currently being rolled out, looks at our founding moral compass -- the Declaration of Independence.

Through the descendants of the men and women who, with the stroke of a pen, gave birth to Israel, the podcast team asks questions about Israelis and the nation as it turns 75.

At times surprising, but always provocative, what these children and grandchildren of the 37 men and women who founded the nation have to say is anything but predictable.

Discussed Israel Story episodes include:

Introducing “Signed, Sealed, Delivered?”

Signed, Sealed, Delivered? David Ben-Gurion

Signed, Sealed, Delivered? Rachel Cohen-Kagan

Signed, Sealed, Delivered? Zorach Warhaftig
