Israel is a tiny country — with a smaller population than Tajikistan, Haiti, and Madagascar — but Israeli culture is as rich and eclectic as they come!

Since living here since 2013, I’ve found Israel’s culture to have it all: on one hand, warmth, camaraderie, celebration, and tradition. On the other: chutzpah, blurred lines, and rules that are more suggestions than matters of fact.

To illustrate the depth and breadth of Israeli culture, enjoy these 10 short stories, including:

  1. The Stunt That Propelled Keshet to Israel’s Top TV Channel

  2. Advice for Becoming a Millionaire in Israel

  3. Arriving in Israel on Christmas

  4. The Key Difference Between Baklava and Baklawa

  5. Golda Meir’s Chutzpah Response to the U.S. Secretary of State
