	Culture of Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The culture of Israel, also called "Israeli culture", is inseparable from long history of Judaism and Jewish history which preceded it (i.e.
		Israel is also home to several world-class classical music ensembles such as the Israel Philharmonic, the New Israeli Opera and others.
		Modern dance in Israel is a flourishing field, and several Israeli choreographers such as Ohad Naharin are considered to be among the most versatile and original international creators working today.

	Culture in Israel
		Israel is a multi-cultural society, and it is now accepted that the country stands only to benefit from retaining cultural individuality while striving to achieve a parallel Israeli culture which will absorb and be enriched by the manifold strands that make up the whole.
		Israel is still a country of immigrants - since 1989, over one million immigrants arrived from the countries of the former Soviet Union.
		Israel in 1948 was a small sliver of land with a minuscule population, overwhelmingly concerned with the problems of daily survival, and struggling to create the framework for an independent and viable state.

	Beta-Israel History and Culture
		In the hope of reaching Israel and family members, the remaining residents of the Jewish villages began to flow out of the highlands towards Addis Ababa.
		Israel was a Western country that they did not understand and was very different from what they knew or expected.
		Knowledge in Israel about Ethiopian Jews, their history, habits, foods, language, way of life and hardships was almost nonexistent.

		Israel Will Prosecute Holocaust Deniers By NINA GILBERT Holocaust denial crimes committed overseas would be an offense under Israeli legal jurisdiction and serve as grounds for extradition under legislation, which is expected to pass a first reading in the Knesset this week.
		In 1994, Israel extended its legal protection abroad for the state and its citizens to Jews and Jewish institutions, which enables it to obtain justice for them as it does for Israelis.
		Eldad said the amendment to the law in Israel, where Holocaust denial is a crime, is necessary because "almost all" of those crimes are committed abroad.

	Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
		Israel for decades has had one of the highest number of annual strike days in the world.
		The culture of corruption in Israel is probably not due to some "genetic" weakness of Israelis, but has a lot to due with a lack of transparent institutions and accountability.
		Israel must reform itself until scandal and corruption are an exception, like elsewhere, not the way things are done.

	Jewish Culture in Israel — No Apologies Necessary
		Israel is already a “state of all its citizens” in that all Israelis — Jews and non-Jews alike — have the right to vote and other basic rights.
		Christianity is the dominant culture of all Western democracies (sometimes officially, sometimes not), and Jews who are otherwise at home in these democracies must, and do, accommodate to living in a religious culture not their own.
		As for the cultural discomfort of minorities — the sense of feeling “left out” — if they are not harassed, if their religious institutions and schools are free to express what they wish, that is all that is required; the highest standard has been met.

	Gems in Israel: Olive Culture in Ancient Israel
		Contrary to the vineyard and its grapes, the attributes of the olive tree are not widespread among the toponymies of ancient Israel.
		There is little Industrial archaeological evidence for a flourishing olive culture during the Canaanite period (this does not preclude the fact that such an olive culture may have existed).
		The geographical distribution of olive culture was widespread in the Mediterranean regions of the country from the slopes of Mount Hermon to the Gaza strip and westward to the northern highlands of the Negev Mount and the Byzantine Nabatien sites to the far end of the 'Arava Valley.

		Israel's writers and performers, painters, sculptors, and photographers have always examined personal and social issues relating to Jewish identity and statehood.
		The economy of Israel has grown rapidly and the standard of living of the people is also quite high despite the fact that the country's defence spending remains one of the world's highest per capita and the growing influx of immigrants always manages to strain the availability of jobs and housing.

		Israel is the ancestral homeland of Jews, including Ashkenazi Jews.
		That is consistent with Jewish tradition and history that says they're descended from the Hebrews who settled in Israel long ago, and were forced to leave by the Romans.
		It may be the case that some Russian immigrants to Israel are not 'full-blooded' Jews, since Israel allows for even just one grandparent, and for spouses of Jews, to return to Israel.

	Israel's Culture of Martyrdom
		In the case of Israel, however, the connection between nationalism and death is especially visceral.
		At the center of this culture of death is the remembrance of martyrs--Jews who, in Zionist ideology, had to die so that the state might be born.
		Israel's war with Hezbollah may have strengthened the hand of the Israeli right, which has forgotten that peace comes only by negotiating with those you do not trust.

	Israel's culture of martyrdom
		For most of Israel's Jewish population, the trial provided a rite of passage, imbuing them with the sense that they were all, in a way, Holocaust survivors and that another Holocaust might be imminent.
		The worst abuses of the Holocaust in Israel, however, have occurred in the midst of debates between Jews, particularly the controversies around the territories occupied in 1967.
		The question in Israel today is whether this heroic period has come to an end or whether the prevailing ideology of the 1948 war will last another hundred years, until the entire "Land of Israel" is "liberated." To choose the former option is to grant priority to the lives of Israel's citizens, Jewish and Arab.

	Israel Culture
		Until recently, Israel's culture has been predominantly religious, be it Jewish, Christian or Muslim.
		Although the hoe-that-field, pick-that-fruit, scoutlike kibbutz feeling is still in evidence, and although Judaism is the state religion, Israel is rapidly turning into a cosmopolitan consumerist society.
		Israel is renowned for its classical music, with artists such as violinist Yitzhak Perlman strutting the world stage.

	At the front of Israel's culture war - The Boston Globe
		In the context of that culture war, Elon argues, Kadima's West Bank pullout plan is less an effort to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict than an attempt by Israel's secular elite to deal a death blow to the religious right and cement its dominance over the country.
		In his view of Israel's culture clash, which he compares to the ''red-blue" divide in the United States, Elon feels that his enemies value Jewishness less than ''Israeli culture" -- ''a superficial culture" centered in coastal Tel Aviv with its classical music concerts and Mediterranean fusion food.
		Elon, who was tourism minister in Sharon's government until he was fired for his opposition to the Gaza pullout, began urging followers not to attack Likud from the right but to join it in a broad right-leaning bloc.

		So-called "non-Zionist" Jews are pleased that Israel exists from a practical standpoint--as a haven for oppressed Jews and as a land imbued with holiness well-suited for Torah study.
		Please remember that Zionism is distinct from the state of Israel; if you look at the history of Zionism, you will see that for some of the zionistic movements, Israel was not the target homeland (in fact, you'll discover that at one time, Uganda was an option).
		Israel is modern political state that strives to provide a pluralistic and open society, comprising many ethnic and religious groups.
