Thanks for watching! I'm aware of how polarizing this video may be for some and I can't stress enough that this has been my own personal experience that won't be the same for everyone. There are two sides to every coin and it's always important to hear both. Here's a link to a well written article about a man who was born before Israel even existed for some contrast to what was shown in the video www.nytimes.com/2021/10/25/world/middleeast/israel-jews-palestinians-journey.html. Thanks guys - Cal
7.memorial days (4:20)
1. The Holocaust (yom hashu'a)
2. The Memorial day (Yom hazikaron)
But not the independence day (Yom ha'tsma'ut) there's no siren on this day.
@@yukimaru4734 you need to learn some english

I would add #12: DO NOT ENTER THE WEST BANK WITHOUT A GUIDE FAMILIAR WITH THE ROADS!
There are plenty of areas in the WestBank whereit's perfectly safe to travel, but some places are dangerous to non-Muslims. These areas have warning signs posted stating that entry by Israelis (and it should also state any non-Arabic speakers) if forbidden. YOU CAN AND WILL LIKELY BE KILLED if you wanted into those areas unless you have business to be there. For those who do have business in those areas however, then it's perfectly safe.
It's still best to have a driver familiar with areas A B and C when venturing past the green line.
Interesting video, wish you would have shown more. My dream is to go to Jerusalem one day. I like that you mentioned the soldiers though bc as an American that would be an uneasy feeling. We don’t see soldiers in America unless they’re on base or coming home. Is the Temple Mount completely off limit to Jews and Christians? And why do the men and women have to stay separated?
Never leave your luggage unattended because then you'll see it surrounded by a swat team and a robot.

A little correction: it's common to give 10% and 15% if the service was outstanding in restaurants. About the memorial days, there are Yom HaShoha (Holocaust Rememberence Day) and Yom Hazikaron ( Rememberence Day for the fallen of war and terrorism). The Independence Day is a celebration day

What surprised and confused me most were the Sabbath elevators. It's considered work if you push the buttons in an elevator on a sabbath day. So some buildings have a sabbath elevator that opens and closes for you, taking you one floor at a time without you touching the buttons.

If you decide traveling to Israel I recommend going to the less known places and not only the big citys. I know from experience that you'll have more fun going to places that are with nature. Anywhere that's kakal is totally safe to go to
Sorry, but the video implies while traveling in Israel to respect Arab culture and their Islamic religion.... But what if I don't like the Arab culture or the Islamic religion? I like most people but let's face it, some of their cultures and religions just suck.
@@waynet2165 if you go to a foreign country you have to go and respect the ppl there and their religion.
It's like I'll come to whatever country you live in and disrespect your culture and religion. It's basic human respect and most Arab ppl are very nice.
It's like going to someone's house and commenting rude stuff about how they decorated or how the food is disgusting
@@waynet2165 Then stay away. The culture is absolutely Middle Eastern. The dominant group of Jews even are Jews from Arab and North African countries. it is not a Western Culture, even tho some people like to think it is.
@@salem688 I moved to Haifa a little over 2 years ago. I love it because of the mix. It's my favorite city. My best friend is an Arab woman and I love all aspects of the culture. Many Arabs are actually Christians.
@Wayne T then don't go if ur going to be a problem.

HELP PALESTINE PLEASE
@@user-wd5bn7vw7w What are U nuts??? They R killing us (jews) just because we R jews!! All the stuff they telling U at the TV, that "we need to help Hamas" and that kind of sh*t is f*cking crazy. Dont ever believe it.
Tipping at a sit-down restaurant with a waiter is pretty common (15%), but not mandatory. Tipping everywhere else (doorman, package delivery, even taxis) is a lot rarer, but they won't refuse it if you do tip.
Great video, keep up the amazing work!!
using taxies in Israel is not RECOMMENDED at all. super expensive; better to use buses or trains.
in Tel Aviv, you can dress as sleaziest as you want
You're right..
I'm Israelian and things here are very expensive compared to other countries.
But we still have a lot of money to purchase things.
But nice for telling people about it!
Some taxi in israel dont drop you on the places tht you need to go...but israel is a great country
then how do taxi drivers survive?
@Ace Miller There is no such thing as "taxpayer money". Federal taxes is how govt deletes *some* of the tax credits (US dollars) it has previously created. This functions to make the US Dollar viable .. rather than trying to thrive on barter instead of money-based commerce & capitalism.
You can reject the funding that Israel receives .. I think most of it is mandated to buy US weapons exports .. so it's really a subsidy that flows directly to the military-industry .. just like DoD budgets .. just like when Trump & Bush refused to denounce Saudi govt, over Kashoggi & over 9/11, because they spend money on US military & high tech.
ALL of that pays American investors, shareholders, executives, workers in the military sector. As Chomsky pointed out, Japan just directly funds their tech & industry, in Capitalism, but since we have this "religion" of "free markets" we must focus "jobs programs" and "Corp welfare" and "R & D" mostly thru the Pentagon. Heck, the internet was invented mostly by DARPA.
While there ARE important influential Jewish & Israeli lobbies .. more important than Jewish orgs who are critical of Israel .. there's a ton of virulent Israel support from certain evangelical Christians, pre-Millenial group that wants Armageddon ASAP. John Hagee is one, but that's a widespread attitude among most churches, except very Left churches and very White Supremacist religions.
Some people don't want Jews surviving "as Jews" in Israel, don't want them in Arab nations where they lived for centuries as "dhimmi" before they were expelled by terror, and don't want Jews in the West either. That leaves few options or final SOLUTIONS, if you know what I mean.
I was for a 1-state Solution when I was a pro-Palestinian activist. I'm embarrassed I never read the Islam-based Hamas Covenant. There's a newer version that doesn't explicitly call for extermination of infidel Jews, but an old school Hamas spokesman says the old one still stands, regardless of the change in language. That Hamas Covenant rejects and denounces ANY peace negotiations or compromise. The ONLY path is violent jihad, murder & martyrdom, regardless what people want, because that's what Allah & Mohammed orders: seize and rule all lands that were ever once given to Muslims by Allah .. that is, all lands ever conquered in past jihad. If any Jews survive, they can convert to Islam or live under Sharia subjugation. That's the outcome of a single "multicultural" state.
Now I realize a 2-state solution with the Palestinian version of ISIS means allowing them complete sovereignty under Sharia to gather military force to destroy Israel. Probably so. NOT ALL PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AGREE, but a majority polled do, or large minority. Likewise other Sharia states like Pakistan and those wahabbi or salafi mosques that Saudis fund to quietly colonize European countries and the rest of the world.
You've seen soft-right-wing criticism and mockery of western LGBTQ groups with rainbow flags protesting for Palestine, while actual LGBTQ in Palestine and other areas run by Sharia are murdered, dragged behind motorcycles, thrown off buildings, hanged slowly for the longest torture.
I didn't understand or accept the context by which Zionism really is an existential fight for actual existence, in a Jewish Homeland, in that State of Israel is not without some Arab allies, but faces a large number of Muslims who would seize the opportunity to destroy it completely, NOT because of western ideas of "Injustice", because Islam openly rejects "western justice", but because of political Islam and the lifetime of jihad that is mandated by Islam, by Allah, by Mohammed. Muslim religious leaders (especially foreign) aren't too shy about that fact.

In general, as an Israeli, born in Israel, the advice in the video is good and correct... Another piece of advice is to address the Israelis with the words "help me please"... in most of the cases the word "help" opens our hearts, of course as in the whole world, We need to beware of fraudsters, yes and true, don't teach us what is good for us, each of us has lost a friend, or knows someone who was injured or killed in order to maintain a sane life and to continue living and develop more technologies or patents to improve medicine, agriculture and much more
Enjoyed the vid & the basic insightful advice 👍🏼

Gettaxi isn't the cheapest to get around, a Bus is!
Bus and public transport is really dirt cheap. Just 60₪ for a day ticket through most parts of Israel which allows u to use bus and train but personally I got a ravkav which makes it a lot easier to get a ticket.

Thank you so much. That's just what I needed.
Yes! Always hire a guide. Let me know if you need one. Those 2 years are brutal but worth it to be a tour guide.
Hi, I'm from Israel, so just a few corrections...Dress just the way you want to... Respect religious places mostly in Jerusalem, but everywhere else... Feel free!!
Weiters are paid as much as everyone, it's just a local custom to pay a 10% tip.
Memorial days are yom hazikaron lashoa (hollocost memorial) and fallen soldiers memorial day. Azmaut is Israel liberty day, and a day after the soldiers memorial.
Israel is not a religious place altogether. There are some places and neighborhoods that are religious, but not most places.
Have a great visit!
I want to come in lsael to work is there any jobs in hotels, cleaning in hospitals or cleaning some offices am from Africa by now am in oman few months am living
is a Muslim allowed to visit Israel ? I really want to visit Israel, but I’m afraid if the soldiers catch me while I’m performing my prayer.
Underoots Team 1.2 million of Israeli citizens are Muslims. They pray every day. Five times a day. The Muazin also plays the prayer. You are free to do whatever you want. About the visit, unlike in many Muslim countries, that forbid Israelis to come, Israel has no laws against a travel of anyone, just be ready for a longer process to get a visa (for citizens of certain countries, like Iran, Iraq, Saudi, Lybia, Lebanon, Syria, etc.)
@@underootsteam4062 Muslims live here and practice they're religion with no interruptions. Soldiers will not harm you for it, never and nowhere

You forgot to mention Shabbat and holidays. Yom Kippur the whole country is closed and fasting. Shabbat the whole country is resting, matters where you are.
@vital keos Here where you are wrong the difference between Shabbat and Saturday are: Saturday is a specific day. Shabbat starts at Friday 6 pm until Saturday 7:30 pm.
Actually in shabbat sone less religious places don't close

@Opinions: Philosophy and Science מה קורה אחי
I'm from Israel and watched this cuz I was bored and wanted a laugh but this video is around 90% accurate and well informative
Haha! Such an Israeli comment! Too true.
A pro tip is to visit places other than big cities, like going to a Moshav or a Kibbutz - both are an unique type of settlements in Israel. Israelis are very educated, and the majority of people are bilingual or polyglots, and almost everyone knows English so for a tourist it should be pretty easy to go around even in seemingly remote places. Israelis are very warm people and are always excited to see tourists, especially in non-touristic places, so it's both a great chance to learn a little more about the culture and also meet knew people.
Also NEVER leave your bag unattended, EVER
@7mad aLn because the police will be all over it within a minute. It happened to me when I was at Jerusalem central bus station. I just went to go buy something to drink and when I came back a minute later a security guy was examining it.

@@alexwhatever They were attacked in a war; dominated said opponents and have been attacking only in retaliation from hamas and Hezbollah.

About the sirens so that nobody is confused: there are actually a couple of sirens most of them throughout the end of March and April. The first is in remembrance of the Holocaust there is one in the night and one in the morning. Then later that month there is one in remembrance of the soldiers and tarorists victims. Also it is VERY important not to get confused with the sirens telling you to go into a bomb shelter because those also sound similar

When you go to Israel the whole hour 15 hour plane ride I thought I was going to war. But when I got there I realized never let the media give you your worldview. Especially when you’re in cities like Tel Aviv which I like Miami Beach how old Yafo, Anywhere along the western shores of the dead sea in the Red Sea and your Jerusalem, All the tourist cities like Masada, Ein Gedi, Sea of Galilee calmer Tiberius, All the places that are touristy you don’t have anything to worry about, gets a little sketchy when you get into Jericho or Hebron But because I’m not Jewish or Palestinian or Arab I never had any problems I seen people who did have problems but it wasn’t anything they were asking for. I think they know how much they’re hated which is why it’s the safest country in the world, I would easily say Israel is the safest country I’ve ever been to, because other than the hard rock it coming from The Gaza Strip which gets shut down before it lands anyways. 20 years ago I would’ve said or maybe 15 years ago I would’ve said OK this is not the best place to go and then things got better and then it got worse again two months after I left another war broke out there

Things to do - Preach the Gospel the truth 🙏🏻
Well Explained 💚
About the Memorial Days - there are 2: one is for the victims of the Holocaust - Yom HaShoa in short in Hebrew (2 minute siren at 10 am) and the second is for the fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism - Yom HaZikaron in short in Hewbrew (1 minute siren at 8 pm and 2 minute siren at 11 am the next day).
Yom HaAzzmaut is the Independence Day and it is celebrated right after the end of Yom Hazikaron :)
That's right.
A few tips/pointers from an Israeli:
- some soldiers won’t be able to take pictures with you. It’s not cause they’re rude of annoyed- they’re just not allowed to have photos taken of them while wearing uniform
- Yom Haazmaut isn’t a Memorial Day but Israel’s Independence Day. It’s right after Yom Hazikaron (memorial day for fallen soldiers) so that’s confusing. The other Memorial Day we have is Yom Hashoa (holocaust Memorial Day).
- in big cities the best way to travel is via public transport- the cheapest way to travel
- most of the people in Israel aren’t religious. The majority of Orthodox Jews live in like 4-5 cities.
Hope it helped and hopefully you’ll enjoy your visit here 😊

Im sorry but Most of Jewish Israelis are not secular. You can check studies and surveys that were done in Israel and are available online- 60-70% of Jews in Israel fast and/or pray on yom kippur... 94% celebrate passover...Around 70% do "kidush" on sabbath.
What you probably meant to say is that most Jews in Israel are not "Haredim" (Ultra orthodox). Which would be true .

The Thirteenth Tribe is a 1976 book by Arthur Koestler, in which the author advances the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the historical Israelites of antiquity, but from Khazars, a Turkic people. Koestler hypothesized that the Khazars (who may have converted to Judaism in the 8th century) migrated westwards into Eastern Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries when the Khazar Empire was collapsing.
You are right about the haggle
Because my mother
Told me about that
If you haggle with them they getting anger
Good video! Just a few notes (from an Israeli):
1. Some of the things you said are specific to Jerusalem. While there are a lot of religious people in Israel (around a third of all Israeli Jews keep Shabbat, for example), some areas are more liberal than others- so, for example, in Tel Aviv you'll see that most people usually don't dress modestly and aren't religious. Same goes for soldiers- there are a lot of them in Jerusalem and other cities that have both Muslim and Jewish citizens, since there's a lot of friction there; but not a lot in other places (though there still are some).
2. You got the memorial days wrong- Yom Ha'atzma'ut is our independence day, it's a happy and celebratory day occurring a day after Yom Hazikaron (which is the memorial day for the fallen soldiers and civilian victims of wars/ terrorist attacks); there is a second memorial day, it is a week before the memorial day and it's called Yom Hasho'ah- memorial day for the victims of the Holocaust (NOT international Holocaust memorial day, we have a different date here)
Also, in the future, please refrain from actually sounding the siren in such videos!!!!! Years of hearing it have conditioned me and most Israelis into reacting very emotionally to it- not to mention that it resembles the siren we hear whenever there's a missile attack, so it's very stressing and triggering to some
most of them are atheist
and how about stop expandig the border and start giving back the land to the gaza people
@@detectivepatchouli8266 oh, yeah, you know what that fucking youtube comment with no supporting arguments just completely changed my mind about the conflict, and what's more- let me just pick up the direct line I have to the prime minister, call him, and the conflict will be solved immediately! How did no one think about it before?
Seriously though, stop. Not every single Israeli person hates Palestinians, and not every single individual is at fault for the conflict or can solve it, so stop blaming innocent civilians. Not to mention- this conflict is so much more complicated than just expanding the border, so at the very least educate yourself before speaking about it.
@@detectivepatchouli8266 thats very easy to say but what with the Terrorists killing lost of people Who did nothing. we are trying (some of israel al least) to make peace but its very hard to talk to people that thinks we need to give them 40% of are Country. and dont forget theres Jewish people that live there rn.
all the media Shows we are the bad people. not very one of us WANT to start a war but we cant just keep letting Terrorists kill innocent people then expect us to make peace.
i know most likely no one Will think seriously about what I have written but just know Israelis are people too.
Then pray for death if you truly believe , you wont do it because you love life , you transgressed , you killed without aliby . So i tell you this from a muslim servant to allah s.w.t , all the drama and the debate and the ink on paper deals You o children of israel are bound to do it thats allah promiss , and why do you believe in half the boook and u say the other is wrong ? And why do you murder the children and women and elderly ? I know its dictated to you within the book , but when the 2nd promiss comes your faces will be in despair while we enter our mosque . Inshalla .
I’m on vacation in Israel and the people here are so nice.
They should be nice. The US supports them by about 80percent. Ever look around and wonder why no one is at work??

Taxis are not the cheapest way to get around. We have good local bus service in the cities and our trains are super. Use a taxi only within the city if you have to go off the bus route or if you take an intercity bus that leaves you at some distance from your destination or if you have luggage.
i live in israel and my hole family is from israel including me and i can say that everything is right here!
but 1 thing if you do want to go to israel keep in mind that the flight is about 9-12 hours long.
One comment / correction: the two memorial days in Israel are Yom Hazikaron and Yom Hasho'a (Holocaust day) and not "Yom Ha'atzmaut" which is the Israeli וndependence day that comes right after yom hazikaron.
@Ace Miller Never once has an Israeli flown a plane into one of my buildings.
@Ace Miller ok boomer
We celebrate the independence day when our country borned (I live in israel), we actaully don't do nothing in the Holocaust day. The Rememberance day (Yom Hazikaron) and the Holocaust day are very sad days in israel, except for the Independance day.
Also there is Yom kipur, and a holiday for the trees and flowers.
It's really diverse culture and history. Nice video, I enjoyed it.
@Old PartyDave You two should start a comedy duo. What do you say Ace?
A mistake: Yom Ha'azmaut is not a memorial day and there is no siren in this day, It is an happy day for celebrating Israel independence. Indeed there is another memorial day in Israel for the holecost victims and there is a siren too.
Min
mn.
Yom hat'azmaut is the birthday of isreal. Yom hazicaron is the rememberance day of the soldiers who died and Yom hashoah is for the rememberance day of the Holocaust.
Thank you, my first trip to Israel will be in December
Memorial days. I should correct you
You have 2 minutes siren at 10/11 in the morning in a Holocaust Remembrance Day. (It’s usually April/May)
A week after it you have Yom haZikaron - 1 minute of siren at 8 pm, and then one more minute sirence next morning at 11 am. There is an Independence Day celebration in the same evening, and that is a real celebration in the evening, not a memorial day. I know that it’s sounds strange, but… welcome to Israel!)

You know what's funny? When I see any comment in Arabic I don't have to translate it. Cause I already know this is either hate speech or religious crap. And guess what? Yours one is the same.
Great guide! As an Israeli I can add some stuff:
1. 10% tip is perfectly fine.
2. Get taxi is great for in the city, for outside, if you are short on money there is also public transportation. I think travel by train for moving between cities will be easier for a tourist, although honestly out public transportation is pretty bad.
4. Yom haazmaut - litterally means independence Day, so no sirens then. The sirens are a day before, on Yom Hazicaron(memorial day) for terrorism victims and fallen soldiers, and a month before that for the memorial day for holocaust victims.
5. Outside of religious places *and religious neighborhood * you can wear whatever you want. Tel Aviv is one of the most libearl city in the world, for instance.
6. The scam thing is so true I can't stress this enough. However remamber that this stands for the market and stands not for anywhere else. I saw some tourist tries to haggle in the mall and it was pretty funny...
Great video, I can confirm those are really good advices!

@@xxshartoxx2982 *Readies debating suit*
It was founded by the League of Nations after the British left it as the empire began to crumble. So no, it was not illegal.
You will also notice that Israel was a lot smaller in the beginning, the Arabs were given plenty of space. What did they do? Had a hissy fit that they couldn’t have the whole thing and had multiple wars and conflicts that Israel won over and over again, they took over those areas (legally and morally) and maintain them (legally and morally). You will further notice that Israelis settling legally in “palestinian” towns are nearly always met with extreme violence and are needing protection from the IDF. You will FURTHER YET notice that giving Gaza back did not help whatsoever, and instead has lead to Hamas having nice land to bomb Israel illegally. Want to know what else these pesky little blighters have been doing? They have been putting arsenic on balloons so Israeli children play with them.
@@anthonythatcherchurchilled285 you still didnt know the truth mate.
That's your right to love Israel
Salute to you for love your country
Don't worry about the soldiers. They're there to protect you. Whether you're Jewish, Christian, Muslim, atheist etc. That is if they're actually doing what they're ordered to. At the end of the day, they're humans too and they don't want to stand and guard there for hours as much as the next guy. But they do it because they love the country and the people and because they have to. Just don't make their life difficult.
As a 10 year old that knows pure English That lives in Israel, I approve of this, And if you do come to Israel The best way to enjoy it is to Visit Jerusalem.

Im from israel so:
Tip 3: you dont have to dress nicely if its not a religous place.
4: we wont get mad if you tell us what to do but yea its kinda wierd you just dont know enoth about it.
8: true.
9: true but they made it seem worse than it is. Most of the time you wont even be at risk of seeing a minw field but yea they do exist.
Tip 10: you dont need to be too careful most people arn't even religious and only in jerusalm is where you neet to know that.(im not even religous)
Tip 11: just enjoy israel is amzing!
American taxpayers subsidize Israel so American tourists should be able to say what they want. Don't like it, don't take our money.
Did you guys travel with a tour guide. If so who do you recommend?
Yes, get a reliable tour guide before you go. Yes, do your research. Also on Yom Kippur, it is a fasting day, the whole country shuts down.
Im Israeli and the thing with the not touching the opposite sex - its really easy to move from “these are my beliefs” to “Im a man and i can ask for every thing”, if a man starts being rude to you, disrespecting you and ask you stuff you don’t wanna do, say no, please say no
I am a Christian. Here in America these strict religious policies are not in place but...with me, if I see a woman say no, I see her try to move away from a rude man and he continues, I will speak up, I will defend her. Mostly on public transportation.....sometimes woman place themselves in a bad situation but no means no. Not I need to save face, don't stop.....
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 , God=Lord Jesus Christ warns of those that keep commiting sexual immoral acts won't enter heaven after passing away. Unfortunately there is no rest for the unrepentant wrongdoers and the disbelievers in the lake of fire. It is the second death.

@@nishankhanbd Genesis 12:3
3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (God=Lord Jesus Christ gave to a foreigner from Ur (modern day Iraq) to Abraham and his descendants the Jews as possession to live there. Which is all of Canaan, all of Sinai peninsula, part of Egypt where the Nile is at, all of Jordan, all.of Lebanon, part of Syria where Damascus is at, part of southern Iraq where Eden was and if God=Lord Jesus Christ allows us to eat from the fruit of the tree of eternal life on judgement day, the next prophesy stated in Revelation in the Holy Bible and Saudi Arabia. All of that is the Holy land of Israel. If you don't believe me see for yourself on judgement that God=Allah is Lord Jesus Christ. He is Jehovah=Yahweh=I AM. To give you a hint He has rescued me before time and time again. I would gain nothing by lying like whomever. I wouldn't curse Israel if I were you. Stop doing it or you would regret it later.
That Hummus place, "Lina," in the Christian Quarter, is one of the best in the whole country! Sadly, I see this video was released just a few months before Corona came crashing in, and upending our lives. I'm a licensed tour guide here in Israel, and I don't have another tour booked until February 2022. That's two whole years of unemployment!
Hi, umm can you suggest a touring agency or something where we can book a tourist guide for a pilgrimage (the christian one) we're planning to visit israel next year or maybe in 2023 since my dad has always wanted to do a pilgrimage to jerusalem and various other religious sites, although we can get by with just google map and websites but it would be truly helpful to have someone guide and explain to us while we're there

@@yankee891 true , but the only difference that war here is not over yet , why do you think there are so many soldiers , i don't think it's really fun for tourists seeing all those soldiers
What's rude is forcing my grandparents out of their home and taking everything from them for a jewish family that came from Europe!!!!!
Isn't that the dear hunter
honestly as someone who lives here, i came to watch this video to find mistakes and weird stuff people think about us, and i didnt find any. everything the creator said in this video was correct. the only thing that i might disagree on is the religious people.. you will usually find a higher percentage of orthodox people in Bney Brak or Jerusalem. in other places much much less, and in Tel Aviv i encontered only about a few of them counting all of the times i have been there.
As someone who lives here I don't really see a reason to come here, but the food and the mountains of Eilat are truely beautiful.
I don't think that you should spend a lot of time in Jerusalem, a day or two is enough really.
the main thing that i love about the people here is that they are very nice and approachable, and as it was said in the video, the soldiers are really nice! most of them are around 18 so theres nothing to be scared of! just be nice to everybody and it will come back to you :)
if you go visiting nature, stay in the trails!! its very important, aside from the landmines, there might be falling rocks and animals.
