Israel
is a tiny, complicated, precious country, and the only one we call home. She
boasts God-kissed mountains, arid deserts, breath-taking waterfalls, and
world-famous beaches; more patents, scientists, published books, and inventions
per capita than any other nation in the world; world-renown and internationally
critical historical, archeological, and religious sites. . Israelis are
strong-willed, stubborn, out-spoken, warm-hearted, and intense people. Israelis
are always-ready to tell you how to raise your child, open his home up to a
perfect strangers, and laugh at the sometimes harder shades of life. With mandatory military service (3 years for
boys; a year and eight months for girls) shaping its people's character,
Israelis and Israel is a constant foil of soft and hard, bitter and sweet,
surreal and mundane.
These
are our top family things to do around Israel.
