More about Israel
Israel is a state in the Middle East, on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea with (2019) 9.1 million residents; The capital is Jerusalem. The coastal plain on the Mediterranean is very straightforward. Only in Haifa does a bay intervene more inland. To the east join the highlands of Galilee , Samaria and Judea. However, only the highlands of Galilee belong to the actual national territory of Israel. Here lies the 1208 m high Har Meron, the highest mountain in Israel. To the east, the mountains drop steeply to the Jordan Rift. The rift with the Sea of Galilee in the north and the Dead Sea in the south is almost its entire length below sea level. The desert area of the Negev in southern Israel takes up more than half of the country.
Israel is a predominantly dry country. Only in the coastal edge there is a Mediterranean climate with winter rains. In the mountains, the summers are dry and warm, the winters quite cool, so that occasionally snow falls here. The Negev and the hot Jordan Valley are desert-like.
A major environmental problem is the lack of safe drinking water. In industrial areas or in larger cities in particular, the groundwater is often polluted with pollutants. Agriculture also needs a lot of water to irrigate its fields. However, the salinisation of the soil at the high air temperatures often leads to the loss of valuable arable land.
Culture
Israel is home to the holy places of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In Jerusalem the Wailing Wall of the Jews, the Church of Jesus of the Holy Sepulcher, the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque as holy places for Muslims are concentrated in a very small space.
There is a strict separation between the Arab-Islamic culture of the Palestinians and the Jewish culture. Jews immigrated from all parts of the world. The cultures of their countries of origin have left their mark on Israel. Devout, ultra-orthodox Jews have to follow many rules in their everyday life. This includes kosher food, bathing and dress codes. The Israeli National Theater Habima (“stage”) in Tel Aviv was originally founded in Moscow. The literature is written not only in Hebrew , but also in Yiddish , English, Russian or Arabic. Modern literature often takes up socio-political issues such as the Jewish-Arab conflict or religious issues. Samuel Josef Agnon (* 1888, † 1970) received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966. The stories of the satirist Ephraim Kishon (* 1924, † 2005) have been translated into many languages. Well-known youth and children’s book author is Uri Orlev (* 1931). In the field of film, productions with a socio-political background predominate, such as “Dancing Arabs” (2014, German “Mein Herz tanzt”) by Eran Riklis (* 1954). In the film, a Jew and a Palestinian swap roles and learn to understand each other better. “Waltz with Bashir” (2008) is a documentary animated film about the director Ari Folman’s (* 1962) deployment as a soldier in the 1982 Lebanon War.
Art in all forms is featured in many museums and an abundance of galleries across the country. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem is the country’s national museum containing the Qumran Scrolls. The Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial is also located in Jerusalem.
Classical music is very important. It has gained in importance primarily through Russian, German and Austrian immigrants. The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra regularly go on international tours. Israeli rock and pop music is strongly influenced by the countries of origin of the different immigrant groups. Israelis like to sing and often know the lyrics of local folklore and pop music by heart. The traditional folk music Klezmer comes from Eastern Europe. Israeli hip-hop is a mixture of oriental sounds, rap and soul. The singer Netta Barzilai (* 1993) won the Eurovision Song Contest for Israel in 2018.
The most popular sports in Israel are soccer and basketball. The Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club is the best-known and most successful sports club in Israel. Swimming, sailing and windsurfing are also practiced by recreational athletes along the coast. Russian immigrants in particular have stimulated the sport of chess.
