Shalom!

I like to balance news about Israel with other experiences: the innovative music, modern design, and fascinating culture that are part of today's Israel. Below are 4 ways to learn, discover, and connect with Israel beyond politics for the upcoming Israel Independence Day.

Wishing everyone peaceful celebrations.

Independence Men's T-Shirt. Shirt designers Threaded Heritage include Israel's declaration of Independence behind the lion of Judea, Atzmaut (Independence), and 1948. This is one of our bestselling t-shirts.
3. Read A Graphic Novel about "How To Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less"

How To Understand Israel in 60 Days or LessRead about Sarah Glidden's Birthright trip to Israel and her thoughtful, transforming adventure.

 

"The book is funny, touching and thought provoking. The drawings are pretty good too."

 

"The roller coaster of emotions you experience on a trip to Israel are accurately portrayed by the slightly neurotic protagonist, a character I can see a bit of in myself. "

 

"No matter what position you hold in the troubling conflicting narratives of Israel-Palestine - you will find this book well worth your while."
