At the beginning of the week, Taglit celebrated the final evening of their trip in Israel with a huge event in Jerusalem’s nation buildings ( “Binyaney Hauma”)

The hall was packed with thousands of Jewish people ( mostly students) from around the world that had the privilege of being a part of the latest Taglit trip to Israel.

The atmosphere was simply electrifying! The audience was exhilarated and did not stop singing, cheering and raising Israel’s Flag.

The organization of the evening was very impressive and respectful and included Leading Israeli groups of dancers, acrobats and singers.

As an Israeli, I must admit, that the event was very exciting and made me realize how important it is that our Jewish brothers and sisters among the world will take the time to visit our country. Here are some pictures and Videos, I hope they’ll be able to transfer some of the excitement of that evening.

We are testing our software at a leading technical institute in Israel and we hear that the buzz around the campus is very favorable. With a great team, strong technology and sufficient funding we expect our launch to be highly successful”. While Streamsoft is still operating in stealth mode industry insiders estimate that its software will create a big wave in the pool of online video.
