Download or read book The Simple Guide to Customs and Etiquette in Israel written by David Starr-Glass and published by Paul Norbury Global Books Limited (UK). This book was released on 1996 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barely half a century old and composed of immigrants from more than 80 countries, it is not surprising that native-born Israelis call themselves sabras - the name is given to the fruit of the Prickly Pear cactus - and that Israel is a land of contrasts, paradoxes and unpredictability. But, says the author, the Prickly Pear may be very offputting from the outside, but is delicious inside. It is worth persevering. The author, himself an immigrant in Jerusalem, gives the reader a sharply-focused insider's view of the way of life in modern Israel. He notes that the impetuosity, idealism, and supreme self-confidence characteristic of the early years (and often extremely unpleasant for the outside world) have given way to the much more relaxed and realistic approach of a maturing society, although the prickly image is still very much part of government life and state media. Other stereotypes are also faced head-on, such as the kibbutz culture (today, less than 4% of Israelis live on kibbutzim) and the military culture.
