Known as the Biblical Holy Land, The State of Israel sits on the Mediterranean Sea and is home to beautiful architecture and pristine beaches. It is only 290 miles in length and 85 miles wide, with a population half the size of New York city. With many new startups businesses, Israel is second to Silicon Valley in high-tech companies, with many research and development facilities and products originating in Israel.
I met Halel through a friend of a friend, and although we have grown up on different sides of the world, we share a lot in common of how we see the world and how people should be treated. She and I spoke about conflicts in Israel relating to the land and the people. We talked about the possibility of a two state solution and how she had to take final exams in a bomb shelter at school. We spoke about how Tel Aviv is one of the most liberal cities in the world, and how she loves that there are cities that break through stereotypes and segregation and where people of different walks of life can live together in peace. I appreciate her openness and neutral position on sensitive topics regarding her home of Israel.
