Well, just 10 days away from departure to Israel and I’m just as excited about this trip as I was the very first time I stepped foot on Israeli soil.  I absolutely love the land and love the people, and I am tremendously intrigued by the culture.  Here are a few things I’ve learned about Israelis:

• They are incredibly passionate!  When they stand for something, they stand strong and they act upon it.
• In their passion, it often sounds as though they are yelling and arguing with one another!  (The Hebrew language has a way of sounding that way to our western ears!)  However, that fuels strong ideas and drive to come to solutions.
• They focus not on problems, but on true solutions.  As a nation with seemingly very few natural resources, they view their people as their strongest resources…and they are brilliant!
• Israelis often think “outside the box,” and are, therefore, incredibly innovative.

 

Between now and my departure, I want to share a series of 12-minute (or less) videos with you that “tell the story” of Israel’s brilliance in much better ways than I can.  I encourage you to take the time to see each one…and I suspect you will not only find them very interesting, but will gain deeper appreciation for Israel than ever before!  Enjoy!
