Country Love

This came via a reader’s suggestion to check out the entry and re-post.

The writer admits to being in a “cheezy moment that may induce nausea in readers” but heck…we’re amenable.

Enjoy this snippet of The Real Israel’s “I Love This Country”:

Because of this corny state in which I am at the moment, I’d like to share with you why I love Israel so much.

I love that you can’t possibly go through a holiday without being invited to a million people’s houses for dinner/lunch/parties. Having one dinner/lunch/party is not an excuse to miss another one. You can’t eat too much food.

I love how I studied Spanish for years in Texas, but I only became fluent after moving to Israel and getting addicted to Argentinean telenovelas (soap operas).

I love that you can walk through the Old City (during the quieter times) and see people and sites from all religions and forget there is a conflict going on.

I love the fact that sometimes Shuk Hacarmel feels like it’s been invaded by the US (and ditto for Ben Yehuda street in Jerusalem).

For more of the “I love’s”, head over to Tal Talk’s blog . . .

    4. Zionism is the concrete outcome of Judaism. Just look back and see what happens to Jewish people when it has neither – without an independent home country the Jewish people is weak and threatened, if we turn our backs on the torah, our culture and traditions we undermine ourselves and lose our core and our claim to eretz Israel.

    All Jews ought to love Israel because with it we are whole as a nation and confident and are able to defend ourselves.

    This is why I love Israel – it is part of what I am.
