I arrived by boat in Haifa on Christmas Eve 1972. Soon I went to live on a kibbutz on the Sea of Galilee. I stayed in Israel for 1 1/2 years. It was a very exciting chapter of my life, and for sure Israel was a very inexpensive country for travelers back then. Plus the place was crawling with foxy chicks.😂 Also it was very easy to hitchhike back then.

[@hannycohen7188]

Nice video, but I have a few corrections, as an Israeli... 1. Not all McDonald's are kosher, especially in Tel Aviv. 2. In general, the more religious the place, the more kosher restaurants & vice versa. 3. Wear whatever you want, except for holy/religious places. 4. On the Holocaust Memorial Day, we have one siren in the morning & on Yom HaZikaron we have two, in the evening & morning. 5. You can talk about politics as long as you are not "telling" us, the people how actually live here, we are wrong, try to live here yourself before you judge. 6. And we are the most informal people there are, for better or for worse.

Sorry but your don't go hiking rule is wrong. There are many designated hiking trails throughout Israel in which thousands of people use per year and they are perfectly safe. The danger of rocket fire is only in the south right by the Gaza strip and most of the time there isnt even rocket fire. Minefields are clearly signposted and blocked off. It's only dangerous if you go off the trail. DO go hiking! It's such a beautiful walk full of nature and amazing views, and a lot of hikes can be done by streams and waterfalls which is perfect in the summer

[@lapamful]

I've lived in Israel for 15 years and I would NEVER go hiking alone. As part of a group with one (or more) people armed? Fine. But not alone, NEVER, and ESPECIALLY if you don't know Israel like a native.

[@vtcs1963]

Haha the thing about the tipping was kind of hilarious because it’s so true. In the US you have to tip as well, so we are used to it in Israel. My son has been working at a beach restaurant in Tel Aviv for about a year while he finishes his masters degree and saves up to go abroad. One night we were in a restaurant (not his) and he recognized a family he had waited on a few nights before. They recognized him as well. He said “I waited on you and you didn’t leave a tip!” They felt so bad - they said they had been invited (they were from another country too) and they didn’t know their host had not left a tip! They wanted to give him one then! We declined. But when I tell my friends here in the US that story they are horrified! It’s so typical for Israel though!

𝗜𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵? Peace between Israel and any other nation depends on the Jewish people being at peace with each other. In the past, Israeli Jews were once united in times of war. Today, even war fails to unite us. There is no need for us to fight anyone. We will finish ourselves off with our own hands. Until we understand that everything depends on uniting above our divisions and discovering a common love, we will have no peace and calm with our neighbors. How does it work? It works because we are a special nation that was established not on biological ties, but on achieving the idea of “love your friend as yourself,” and it is that example of unity that will let us function as a healthy organ in the world. If we achieve such love for each other, then Palestinians will have no drive to fight us, and in general, the hatred against us will subside. If we wish to be at peace with Palestinians and the entire world, we first need to be at peace with each other.

Israeli here, a few remarks: 1. uber is not available in israel in general because Uber does not require a license, whereas by law all Taxis in israel require a license. there are efforts by the public to make it legal but of course the taxi drivers oppose the change of the law because they don't want competition. Gett works around this problem by only working with licensed taxi drivers. The uber driver probably just scammed you unfortunately. 2. McDonalds has several non-Kosher branches where you can enjoy cheeseburgers and other non-kosher stuff. 3. modest clothes are not necessary in 95% of the places in the country. dressing modest in a synagogue is no different than having to dress modestly when going to a church . same goes for other religious sites. In the CITY (assuming it's non a religious community) you can basically where whatever you want - not just at the beach... 4. you can definitely hike in israel, there are many places that are designated as tourist hike routes, you can find out about them and get maps and brochures that would explain to you about the area. there are also national parks, etc.

Do hike in Israel! Nature here is amazing, especially between January and May! Just make sure you do it safely by going with local people who know where they're going, and be prepared to carry enough water for a day. Getting dehydrated is too easily achieved especially in Summer and, in the deserts, at any time of the year, and is certainly neither good for you nor courteous to your hosts!

First of all, many restaurants aren't kosher and offer cheeseburgers as well as pork, shrimp etc. Secondly, while it is true that you should dress modestly in religious sites, there's no problem outside of these boundaries. Israel is a majority secular country, there's absolutely no problem with showing cleavage, wearing mini skirts and shorts. It's completely normal and widely accepted... Thirdly, it's true for anyone that it's not recommended to go off trace on a hike. There's minefields in Golan Heights but there's always a sign and fences, as well as an arranged path - so it's safe. Kinda exaggerated there...😆 Israel is known for its stunning nature and it'd be a huge miss not to explore the landscape. Most importantly, Israelis are some of the warmest people you'll ever meet. You're more than welcome to kiss and hug as a greeting. We're not one bit formal!! 😅🤣 I have to say that some of the descriptions here sound a bit misleading. Sounds like eastern europe or something. Israel is as modernized as the US. I wish a fair welcome to whoever is planning to stay in Israel. We have amazing restaurants (Genuinely, very high quality and always tasty.) Very rich culture, super loud and warm people. Israel is a small country, so make sure to explore most of it!! 💙🤍

All McDonald's in Israel have menus in Israel with English, and not all of them kosher. Most Israelis eat just coffee and a small sandwich or pastry. Shakshuka is more traditional for "10 o'clock meal", since nobody has time to cook in the morning. Haggling is ONLY acceptable in the "Shuk", and don't expect to do it at the mall, or normal stores, etc. Hiking is fine, just make sure you are not alone. Everyone talks politics, just be polite and listen, and be welcome to share your opinion in a respectful way. She's right about what not to bring, and the things about modest dress.

There are organized hiking trips as well as jeep and bike trips, canoeing on the Jordan River. There are even organized tours into the Sinai (Egypt) from Eilat and to Jordan. There's even skiing up north. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are great but there's lots more to see and do.

[@DanielLLevy]

Another "don't" in Israel: don't be an idiot, don't eat at McDonald, kosher or not! The food there is as insipid as anywhere else in the World, but costs twice as much! If you're into fast food, I highly recommend the local one! Falafel is the thing, and yes, it is a square (vegetarian) meal in a round Pita bread. The local take on Shwarma will have kosher Turkey meat flavored with Ahwazi Mutton fat, but it will for sure satiate you and reconciliate you with Life and the Universe. The (relatively) new Sabih is also a very nice complete and flavorful meal in a Pita, and you must try it!

As an Israeli I think this is an excellent guide to what not to do in Israel. However I have some important comments. 1- It is perfectly fine to walk around with religious symbols such as the Koran or the cross, Israel is a country where the three religions exist side by side and we as Jewish citizens respect them all. 2- It is true that there are areas where the frequency of the rockets is higher, however we have an "Iron Dome" system, which protects us and allows us a comfortable daily life even in these areas, it is important to note that there are areas that are absolutely forbidden to enter such as the A I-B areas that are under control of the Palestinian Authority and Arab villages that are not friendly to Israel. But there are clear signs that explain where it is forbidden to enter, so there is nothing to fear. Apart from that, I wish everyone a pleasant trip to visit Israel and welcome

[@daffyduk77]

I suspect that someone looking Arabic might have more difficulty travelling to Israel for tourism in the 1st place. And with armed locals around, (and being armed is unlikely to mean the local Arab population), if you managed to get in, it might make them a little more trigger-happy. Check your life-insurance & medical insurance first. Don't expect Israeli authorities to help you.

The Israeli citizens carry weapons with them only for protection and it's a good thing because many of those who thwarted terrorists were civilians with weapons who happened to be passing by. Besides, everyone who has a gun permit is a security guard or a former security guard, unlike in the United States, so it's much less dangerous here than there.

Graet video. just wanted to add a few points: 1. There are indeed areas where more rockets are fired from the direction of Gaza, but these areas are very close to Israel's border with Gaza and are generally not dangerous. Only during military operations or war it is dangerous to be there. 2. No need to worry so much about your clothes. When walking around the cities there is no problem wearing whatever you want, only when visiting holy sites it's recommended to wear a Tshirt and long pants, you should also bring a scarf with you just in case. 3. There is no problem in bringing the book of the Koran to Israel. Israel is a democratic country and everyone is allowed to believe what they want. As long as you don't insult anyone else there is no problem. If someone insults you or misbehaves because of a necklace with a symbol of religion, for example, you can contact the police and they will take care of the problem. 4. Dno't be afraid of the soldiers who are in the streets. They are there to keep you safe and protect you. In addition, if you need help of some kind or if you got lost, ask them for help, they will be more than happy to guide you. 5. I don't recommend waisting you time at McDonald's there are a lot more graet places to eat, If your searching for a nice plase with a reasonable prices go check Aroma, or all the other amaizing restorants that Israel has to offer. 6. If you afraid of hiking alone in Israel but you also don't want to give up on that part, you can go to one of our natural parks they are supper safe and tourist friendly. I added a link to the offical site of our Nature and Parks Authority (you can change the language by klicking on tab on the green line) www.parks.org.il/map/ 7. Last but not least, you can ask the locals for help on any matter or problem you might have Israelis are very warm people and they will be very happy to help you Hope this helped and that you'll have good time in Israel

A few corrections. First you can and should definitely go hiking in Israel. There are many marked trails in nature including the famous Israel trail going from north to south. Second, Israelis love talking about politics so feel free to ask and most ppl will be happy to share! About modesty you can wear whatever you want in Tel Aviv and should only be concerned with modesty in religious sites or certain neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Also women do not need to cover their hair in Jewish sites at all. Also regarding the taxi from the airport there is also a train you can take for a fraction of the cost of a taxi. Prices of taxis are regulated, make sure to ask them to use the meter and you should be fine.

[@meiti4137]

As an Israeli, what always strikes me as odd with all tourist who come to Israel is that they solely visit Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. These are two places that most Israelis avoid in vacations because they are so crowded and quite boring (aside from nightclubs and political rallies). Most Israelies like to hike and travel in the North of Israel - The Golan Hights, Galilee, the Kineret and the Jordan rivers and its various watery offshoots, or the South - Eilat, the Negev and the Arava. Even the border around the Gaza strip (the North-Western Negev) is quiet 99% of the year and the prices in the Negev, for food, hotels and accomodations are about 50% cheaper than those in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem (for example - Hommus in Sderot costs 9 dollars while in Tel Aviv it starts with 15). Regarding the sea - the beaches in Tel Aviv are relatively dirty and if you want cleaner beaches with more solitude try Ashqelon and Nitzanim (which is quite close to Gaza) in the South and Nachsholim in the North (the beach there is exactly where the sandy beaches of the Southern Israel, like the Tel Aviv beach, become rocky - like Caesaria's beach). Also, Snorkling in Eilat is much better than covering yourself in black, sticky, mud in the Dead Sea, in my opinion.

The big dangers to Israeli civilians (and tourists) are now over (I actually saw from my window the terrorists executing an elderly passerbye and having a firefight with policemen next to the police station in 7.10). While many citizens are still on reserve duty the country is functiong almost as usual with buisnesses reopening and hiking sites starting to open (though not in the Northern border as things with Hezbollah and Iranian militants from Syria are still volatile). Eilat is also targeted by suicide drones from the Yemanite Houties but it is mostly safe there.

[@Klayhamn]

@@legallyregarded it's true, many (i would guess 10-20%) of tel aviv residents are vegeterian or vegan which means there are many places for them. my sister was a vegan (now she's back to being vegeterian) and she always found new places to go to. hopefully this war ends soon and you could come and visit when things calm down again..

There are plenty of well marked trails, including Israel National Trail, which goes from the very north to the very south of the country, a total of 1000 km /620 miles that are split into 44 sections. Minefields are not an issue - the few that exist are sealed and clearly marked. The most common hazards for tourists in Israel are SUNSTROKE and DEHYDRATION, as many don't take the precautions needed for high temperatures. Long hikes would probably be better with a guide for most travelers. If you plan for long hikes in the deserts, seek for the lesser hot times of the year if possible. There's surely plenty to see in Israel aside from hiking in nature, but if you want to and have the time - Just get informed and take care. Anyway, enjoy your visit!

if you want to go hiking in Israel it's best to start out early in the morning. I lived and worked on a kibbutz on the Sea of Galilee, it was never too hot to work. We always started early.

[@klausrain111]

I loved the Israeli people and all of my time in Israel. We started working early and took naps in the afternoon. Sometimes we worked until it was almost dark. I loved Israel, it was one of the best times in my whole life. I will never forget it. It wasn't perfect but I loved it plus I really liked the beautiful chicks there. We had a lot of fun together. Also, I'm not Jewish but nobody cared about that. I considered myself lucky to be there. I worked in the banana groves. Usually I worked with older kibbutzniks who were born in Europe. I loved my time there. Most of the kibbutz volunteers were Americans, British, Dutch and Scandinavians. I had a Norwegian GF who was addicted to sucking my cock. OMG! She gave me deepthroat every day! She couldnt get enough of my hot sperm, she loved it!. She ate every drop. She loved it when I came in her mouth. I visited her in Norway. Her mom even tried to suck me off. I think she told her her mom my hot sperm tasted good and my big cock felt good deep down in her throat. I let her eat as much hot sperm as she wanted. I should have let her mom suck me too. I should have let them suck me off together.I think her mom gave great head also. She wasn't married and I think it had been a long time since she had eaten a hard cock like mine. I really drilled her daughter as deep as possible and she loved it. So did I. I jammed my hard cock as deep as possible into her hot mouth. She loved every drop and she ate it all.

5:24 I'm Israeli and I never tip, if the service is bad. But I tip 10%, if it's normal (just ok), and 15% for good one. And many of us do the same. Maybe percentage is different... But in general that's how it works here. At least in Beer-Sheva where I live. :) And even if you don't tip for some reason, no one will judge you. UPD: I just paused the vid to write this comment... ↑ 6:07 I've never, ever, ever been asked this kinda question. This is complete nonsense! And I've never heard anyone was asked either. Moreover, the waiter can be fired for such a question. Loved your vid anyway! Thank you for sharing the world about my country! :)

About the memorial days,I think you should’ve mentioned the holidays in Israel for example yom kipur (in this day you mustn’t drive in the main roads and the whole shops and streets are empty and this is only one example.enjoy Israel and especially Tel Aviv❤️

[@runedharma22]

All I have to do is be myself, which I am naturally a reserved person

[@ofrikalif4938]

number 18- don't run toward a police officer in order to show him your new knife.

[@AnalogFlava]

plenty of restaurats offer shelfish and some places even pork. and you can discuss world politics as well as local, not a problem either...and hiking in israel is amazing, you just need a tourguide and minefields??? not sure where you got this idea from...for some reason your video gives off an eastern european vibe of israel which it is not - i feel like i watched a review for budapest or something and not a crazy high energy country with lots of tasty eating places and tons of things to see and explore from top to bottom of the country.

[@sigibomba]

so true.

[@Eloshka96]

Ok i just have to say in israel most ppl don't care about your political beliefs definitely dont need to mind expressing them we are a very mix society so you can carry any religious book or symbol you want no one will notice couse again very open and mix society 😂 so yeah plz dont be afraid to speak your mind or practice your beliefs ❤ almost forget to add we are warm ppl u can most definitely great us with hugs and kiss on the cheeks ( if your friends or meeting new friends not strangers and religions ppl ) 🎉 have fun on your trip and definitely try the food

[@YogKing]

3:59 nope, sorry, this is not true. actually most McDonalds in Israel are not Kosher, and cheeseburgers are available almost everywhere.

[@daffodilfleur]

Thanks for sharing your tips, Anna. One day I’d love to visit Tel Aviv. Your breakfast looked amazing! Also, I like to do a bit of bargaining, myself. Exploring Tel Aviv looks beautiful & one day I would love to email you when I have a trip booked. Thank you for your enthusiasm 😊. I love it!

[@Klayhamn]

if you come - make sure to visit not just Tel Aviv, there are many other interesting towns and sites etc.

[@Mitchiko16]

Hi! is it safe to take a Holy Land tour nowadays? planning to get a tour on November 2024.

[@Eloshka96]

Just saying there are a lot of not kosher Macdonalds and restaurants in Isreal next time you come just ask google were they are

[@jp3700]

[@pile333]

So what if I accidentally bump into an Orthodox guy walking in those narrow, overcrowded, central historical streets? 😅 Anyway I appreciate the non kissing greeting stuff.

[@AnnaGoldmanTravel]

You better don’t 😅 I’m sure he will try to keep himself far away from female part of population 😉 Definitely not Italian way of greeting people in Israel 😀 especially people you don’t know Thank you so much for watching 😉🤗

[@Kakashi_my_number1fav_sensei]

He will say sorry and just walk away

[@ronagiger4950]

I’m watching as an Israeli and girl u don’t get Isreal. Don’t take advice from her

[@revol148]

I think if you plan to eat at McDonald's you are kind of missing the point of international travel !

[@yuvaltzarfati9667]

It's not accurate in a lot of things (we like hugs but not kisses, and a few other things that you missed a little but by and large it's fine)

[@TylerKing-mz1my]

I went hiking as a tourist and it was great

[@Klayhamn]

where did you go?

[@dermic]

Israeli in Oslo you made me want to go back to Israel 😂

[@watchyt1789]

And remember you are visiting a colony on occupid land that belongs to opressed people.

[@human6098]

traditional isreali breakfast ? come from which year ?? copy of what nations food?

[@mrcountit]

Tips are 20% here in Virginia Beach…sad

[@MauriceGreen-rl1ru]

I would love to go to Israel

[@guy5404]

There are many non-kosher McDonald's in Israel, and there is a cheeseburger

[@chaimhandler1]

Absolutely true. In fact there are malls with both a kosher and a non-kosher mc-donalds. A few years ago my wife took our kids to a mall where there was a kosher mc-donalds and when they asked her if she wanted cheese on her burger she realized that she was at the wrong one. The Kosher one was a small booth one floor up. There are local differences in other countries too. In Japan I understand you can get rice instead of fries if you like. They probably even have a mc-sushi. Also, the materials are purchased locally. The burgers are kosher. The cheese is kosher. Put them together and OY VEY!

[@titan-atlus]

Excellent video, your English is very good. Thank you!

[@jonathandanon9999]

basicly half the stuff here is more expensive here but unless you find your self in a strict religes city no body will make you feel unconfterble for asking for non kosher food or dressing inapropriatly, like any small countrey we are delited to see tourists which is also why im watching this video lol, ubseting tourists is the last thing we will want to do. most places will tell you if you need to dress difrently before entering and will even tell you where to get such cloths. and definetly go hiking in israel, although like anna sais- always stay near the path, israel has beutiful roads such as the israel's road/ path- said to be one of the best paths to backpack in the world, but in the idf has to train somewhere, and israel is a small place so there are active minefileds close to somevery remote paths. but they are always fenced off and there are signs on most of them, some sign might have fallen or ripped off, so defently go hiking here its fun and preaty, but if you want to go hiking off grid- join an expirienced israely hiker. all of us speak english, some of us even speak good english. also i dont think there are a lot of things to know abaut judism, after all, its a lot like other relogions in the world and is not that different, and most of the people you meet in the street are atheists or are just pelivers and dont realy do anything different then anyone else besides beliving that the jewish god is real. and i dont think having a privet political talk with and israely can go that bad, most of us are totaly open to it, but because of the long conflict- all of us have a different opinion- so keep it privet if you dont want to create an argument betwin two israelis trying to explain antisemat- erm i mean the bds to you in their own world view. and whats that abaut kissing random people? you guys do that where ever youre from? kinda wierd not gonna lie. btw all the things you said not to bring with you to israel are wierd to carry any where- unless its part of your religion or you are just an idiot, i mean- its like going to the usa with a shirt saying frick all the americans- off course you will get wierd looks from people. and the koran, its like the bible of the muslims, most of us have no problem with that. you will get looks, but if i would have started walking with a tanah and a yarmulka in the middle of nyc- i would obviesly get wierd looks too wouldn't i? finally- we are not a third world countrey, i belive that some videos are kinda liying to you abaut it, i asure you that most people in israel are more civilized than most texas dads (that was a joke im so sorry but its funny, but realy we aren't a third world countrey, most the big cities are like any others in the world, and just when you step out of them you realize i lied, of course where not a third world countrey but anyone out side of the bid cities doesnot agree apparently does not agree. i live in a village in the middle of no where thanks for asking, and yes, i have internet) finaly- im so sorry if you sat through this entire thing
