Israel + Gulf States = ?
After an era of nay-saying the Gulf States and other Muslim countries are saying Yes to normalization with Israel. The recently signed “Abraham Accords” between UAE, Bahrain and Israel are sending waves of euphoria through the Middle East and the world. But not all are cheering, and among them are some Israelis.
West Bank/Judea & Samaria 101 (With Maps)
Annexation, Sovereignty, West Bank? What’s in it for Israel? Who are the Palestinians, where are they and how might annexation affect them? Understand the basics of the Israeli annexation in the West Bank, aka sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley.
Who vs. Whom - Israeli Political Map
Understand Israel through the lens of political ideologies, parties and blocks. Learn the issues that the Israelis vote on and discover parallels with other countries.
Israel “Quizentation”
Play Israel Kahoot trivia and learn some fascinating facts in-between. Works for beginners or Israel erudites, as well as for adults, families, kids and teens. Can be spiced up with symbolic Israel-themed prizes.
Innovation Nation
They call Israel the “Startup Nation”. But “Innovation Nation” suits it better. Plus it rhymes. Because Israel is innovating and excelling not just in hi-tech, but also in agriculture, aqua-tech and global Tikkun Olam. Take a sneak peak into the endless list of Israeli inventions and understand Israel’s entrepreneurial spirit and its origins.
The I in the IDF
In Israel everyone has two professions, a civilian one and a military one. Because most Israelis have at some point served in the IDF or the Police. So the army and to some extent the police, are inseparable from the people. That is why it is called the “army of the people”. Learn how the IDF is interwoven into the fabric of civilian life and what are the societal implications.
Soviet-Israeli
Jewish Journey
From a disappearing Jew in USSR, to a hardcore Israeli, to a Senior Shaliach in a New Jersey Jewish community. Contemplate with me on this all-in-one experience of different perceptions of one’s Jewish identity.
Commentary on the
current Israeli events
Israel is never a bore - today it is the West Bank, the blast in Beirut and the normalization with the Gulf States. Tomorrow - election, confrontation with Turkey and multi-billion dollar technological exit. Learn the nuances and understand the context - always fresh.
