Page 3 - Academic and Experiential Study in Israel

Because it’s complicated – nothing is black and
white in israel, and every issue has a hundred faces.
this is what makes israel the perfect lab for critical
thinkers in all academic fields.

Diversity – Huge waves of immigration over the past
century have created a mix of eastern and western
culture, contributing to the creativity one finds in
israel. All this is in addition to the ancient presence
of the three largest monotheistic religions and a few
smaller ones. All these make israel an ideal study
environment of modernity and History, eastern
and Western, religious and Secular in one small
geographical area.

Innovation – many papers have tried to establish
the reason israel is named “the Start-up nation.”
Whether it is living under security threats,
“immigrants’ mentality,” mandatory military service
or the mediterranean sun, the creative atmosphere is
palpable, and possibly contagious.

Because this is where it happened – in israel you’ll
learn about the history on the site it occurred. With
such a small country, densely populated with people
and history, the whole country is a classroom. Feel
the sites instead of reading of them, and hear from
the people rather than hearing about them.
