Things You Must Experience in Israel
Israel is a developed country that boasts of the both new and the old, a nation of rich culture. If you want to make the most of your tour in this country, you have to take part in the locals' culture. Here are some of the things, places, and events you must experience in the nation.
First, every 27th of the Hebrew month Nisan, Israelites observe a day of prayer for the 6 million Jews who were killed during the Holocaust. Take part of the commemoration as Israelites light torches, play darbukas, tell tales, and read meaningful passages to pay homage to the Holocaust victims. Another daily event you must experience is folk dancing, which is very popular in smaller towns and cities. Here, you can join hands with the young, the middle-aged, and the old and skip away! Do not worry if you feel awkward or if you do not know how to dance because most people do not mind at all as long as you have fun. Most of the dances are performed in circles or rows.
Do you want to try an authentic Israeli fast food? Try out the tasty falafel, a piece of oversized pita filled with chickpeas, fava beans, lettuce, peppers, onions, and hot sauces. Many foreigners love falafel so much that they usually do not hesitate to order a second or even a third serving! Finally, if you have a taste for religion, you can visit the Mount of Olives. Here you can find the mysterious necropolis of Dominus Flevit Church, the magnificent Church of Mary Magdalene, the quiet at-Tur neighbourhood, the idyllic Orson Hyde Park, and several other sites of interest. In addition, you can also find tombs and monuments of important Israeli rabbis, cultural figures, and politicians.
