Israel!
Israel is a small yet diverse Middle Eastern country with a long coastline on the eastern Mediterranean Sea and a small window on the Red Sea at the Gulf of Eilat (Aqaba). Israel is bordered by Egypt and the Gaza Strip to the southwest, by Jordan and the West Bank to the east, and by Syria and Lebanon to the north. It shares borders to the Jordan River and the Dead Sea with the West Bank and Jordan. The West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip have been under Israeli de-facto rule since 1967. In addition to the majority Palestinian Arab populations living in these regions, the Israeli Government has built many Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as well as in the annexed Golan Heights.Israel's terrain consists of hills, mountains, valleys, desert and beaches; six percent of the country is covered with forests and woodlands. Rivers include the Jordan and Nahal Keziv. Lakes are the Dead Sea (salt water) and Lake Kinneret (freshwater).
Summer in Israel is very hot, the coastal areas are humid as well as hot, and the landscapes are parched brown since it almost never rains in summer. The other three seasons, in contrast, have absolutely beautiful weather. In spring and autumn the temperature is near-perfect every day and nearly all days are sunny. Winter is a mixture of cold rainy days and cool, sunny days which are great for hiking and touring.
Since the foundation of the State of Israel (1948) Jews have arrived from many countries bringing cuisines from all over the world. These cuisines, together with the traditional food of the Arab population, give Israeli food a truly international flavor.
Our Volunteering and Internship Projects in Israel are located in Nazareth and Tel Aviv.
