We launched our new video network, 21see, in May 2017 to bring you insider looks at Israel’s most unique stories, happening scenes and unconventional characters.

Little did we know that in 2020, video would be one of the only ways to see the sights of Israel and indulge in its cuisine right in your own kitchen.

We know it’s not the same as being here. But we are proud that we could provide Israel-centric inspiration, information and entertainment to people across the globe during the pandemic – as always.

Now it’s time for our countdown of the 10 most popular 21see videos in 2020.
