Beautiful Israel

A Low Point

Did you know that Israel has the lowest point on Earth? That's right. The Dead Sea, which borders Jordan, sits at 1,315 feet below sea level. This sea is so salty that you can actually float on it! There is no life in the water, and it would take a good amount weights to get you fully submerged in the water.

Kosher Glue

Everyone knows that there are strict laws regarding the food that Jewish people can eat. So it would be fitting that the stamps which they lick before sending a letter would be kosher too. Now that's taking it to the next level.

Kosher McDonald's

The only place in the world where you can find kosher McDonald's is in Israel. There are more than 50 kosher outlets in Israel, but if you're looking for a cheeseburger, you're going to have to skip it.

Bus Stop Charity

If you happen to be waiting long for a bus, you have the opportunity to do a good deed. Many bus stops in the Holy Land have a charity box attached to the bus stop for people to donate to needy families or organizations.

Leave A Message After The Beep

Would you have guessed that Israelis invented voice mail technology? I think it actually makes sense; some of us know what it's like to have a Jewish mother.

Sushi Lovers

Going to the party capital of the Middle East, you can treat yourself to a number of sushi restaurants. Maybe "a number" isn't the right way to put it. There are more than 100 sushi restaurants in Tel Aviv.

Entrepreneurship

Israel is proud to have the world's highest rate of entrepreneurship of women and people over the age of 55. Talk about empowering a nation!

Good And Bad

Israelis understand that it's important to be healthy... but they also understand that sweets are delicious. It is the world's third highest consumer of vegetables and sweets.

Bauhaus Movement

Tel Aviv is an especially good place to spy out Bauhaus buildings. With the massive number of these buildings, Israel has the most Bauhaus buildings in the world.

Getting Started

There's no shortage of ideas and innovation in Israel. In fact, Israel has the highest amount of startup companies per capita in the entire world.

Antivirus Software

Can you imagine what it would be like not having an anti-virus system on your computer? Well, we can all thank the Israelis for inventing it in 1979 because without it... well we would be in trouble.

Chess Masters

Let's clarify, we're talking about chess grandmasters and not just masters. The southern city of Beersheva has the most of these in the world per capita.

Mini Subway

Do you want to know how small a subway system could be? Just take a look at the miniature 1.8 kilometer track of the Haifa subway system. How adorable is that? It's like a big train set.

Reviving A Language

The Hebrew language is synonymous with Israel and for a good reason. Israel became the only country in the world to bring an unspoken language back to full life, and then even make it their national language!

The Hoopoe

With its beautiful mohawk, the Hoopoe is Israel's national bird. It is beautiful, and privileged to have enough trees to peck at.
