Hello everyone, my dear viewers!

I am very glad to welcome you to my channel, in this video I want to talk about 10 things that can surprise a Russian person in Israel. If you are interested, stay with me. I would like to immediately note that everything I will talk about today is exclusively my experience, my observations and my opinion, and completely different things may be unusual for you. Be sure to write in the comments what surprises you in Israel, I will be very interested to read your opinion on this matter.

So, let's begin, the first thing that may surprise a Russian person in Israel is that in Israel there are a lot of people with machine guns: on the street, in a store, in a shopping center, in a cafe - everywhere you can meet people with machine guns. When you come to Israel for the first time, it can be a little shocking that there are people with machine guns everywhere around you: soldiers, people in civilian clothes, fragile girls with machine guns. And when you’ve been living here for some time, it becomes so ordinary, so commonplace that you stop paying attention to it.

The second thing that may be very surprising to a Russian person in Israel is that most Israelis consider military service not some kind of obligation that they do not want to fulfill; for most Israelis, military service is an honor. And for me, as a Russian girl who lived almost her entire adult life in Russia, it was very surprising for me to hear at first that people happily give several years of their lives to the army, to serving their homeland, and that they remember this time as best time in their lives, that they are proud of it and happy that they served in the army, of course, for me this was very unusual and surprising. Of course, there are exceptions, and there are people in Israel who want to avoid military service and try to do this by hook or by crook, but this is very, very rare, and other people consider it a real shame, “and how is it possible for a person to doesn’t want to serve the army, doesn’t want to repay his debt to his homeland, this is shameful.” And such a person will definitely not be respected. Of course, in Russia, I am sure that there are people who are not trying to avoid the army, and are ready to give their duty to their homeland, are ready to serve in the army with joy, but the majority of young people are trying in every possible, impossible way to avoid the army.

The third thing that can really surprise a Russian person in Israel is sometimes some religious traditions, prohibitions, and so on that reach the point of absurdity. Let me give you an example. Surely you all know what Shabbat is. This is Saturday, this is the last day of the week in Israel, and on Saturday a believing Jew should only rest, he should not do any work. This does not mean that a believing Jew should not just not work on Saturday, it means that a believing Jew should not use any electrical appliances, he should not start a car, he should not cook, he should not light a fire... Sometimes, under these religious prohibitions, traditions should be adapted by non-religious people who, in general, have only an indirect relation to religion. I'll bring you specific example: We have an elevator in our house, to call the elevator you need to press a button, but a believer, a religious Jew should under no circumstances press the button on Saturday. And that’s why our elevator runs in “Shabbat” mode all Saturday. What does it mean? This means that our elevator travels to all floors, stops on all floors, stands on each floor for some time, about a minute, and moves on, and so it goes up and down, up and down. But the fact is that while it goes through all the floors and stops at each floor, it takes a lot of time, sometimes you have to wait for the elevator for a very long time - five minutes, ten, and sometimes even longer. Yes, you, of course, can say that you can go down the stairs on foot, you can go up the stairs on foot. Yes, in principle, it’s possible, we live on the fourth floor, but the thing is that we have a child, and, therefore, a stroller, and somehow with a stroller it’s not very convenient to constantly go up and down to the fourth floor. stairs, so we have to wait.

The fourth thing that may seem very unusual to a Russian person in Israel is, let’s say, the style of the average Israeli. As a rule, Israelis don’t care what they wear or what they look like, and people around them don’t care what you look like either. You can often find them on the street, in cafes, restaurants, shopping centers people in sweatpants with pulled knees, a torn T-shirt, and no one will look at this person condemningly, no one will think that he is homeless or a drunkard, he was the one who got into a fight, his T-shirt was torn... For Israel this is absolutely normal, and if in this form go to a restaurant, for example, no one will tell you that there is dress control and you can’t come in dressed like that. You can enter almost any restaurant in any form. Of course, there are exceptions, for example, you can’t work in a bank dressed like this, the bank has some kind of dress code. But basically people don’t care how they dress, the main thing is that it’s comfortable, that it’s all ventilated, that everything is cool. This also includes the fact that Israeli girls very rarely wear heels. Of course, you can see girls in heels on the streets of Israel, especially in the centers major cities, but this is very rare. And mostly girls wear high-heeled shoes only to some events. When compared with Russia, the vast majority of girls wear heels, even judging by myself. When I lived in Russia, I constantly wore shoes with heels: I went to work in heels, I rode the subway in heels, went shopping in heels... But when I came here, I realized that there was no such thing here, and this such a relaxing atmosphere, the atmosphere of dressing in something more comfortable, let's just say, it is, of course, very contagious, and I took off my heels, and now I only wear heels for some events.

Another one interesting thing about the style of the average Israeli-Russian person, it may be surprising that at 20 degrees Celsius you can meet people on the streets in down jackets, boots, boots. For example, in 20 degrees Celsius I put on a T-shirt, a skirt and open shoes, and very, very dressed people can walk around me. For me, dressing like this is only suitable for zero degrees, for minus five degrees, but in Israel, apparently, Israelis are 20 degrees of heat is cold, and therefore they are insulated, this, of course, still amazes me very much and very, very surprised. And very often you can see situations where a guy is standing in flip-flops, shorts and a T-shirt, and next to him is a guy in a hat, down jacket, warm pants and some kind of winter boots.

The fifth thing that can really surprise a Russian person in Israel is that, as a rule, a car in Israel is exclusively a means of transportation. If in Russia, for example, very often a car is a means of prestige, and a person may not have an apartment, but, having saved a certain amount of money, buys himself a car, then in Israel this will not happen. And very often you can come across a situation where there is some very expensive mansion, a house in some very prestigious area of ​​Israel, and next to it there is a very, very simple car, from some shaggy era. Sometimes you even come across very broken-down cars, with the headlight stuck on with tape, and the door, you already think, is going to fall off. Both a person with average income and a very, very rich person can drive the same brand of car. You can never tell, either by car or by appearance, how much money a person has. And therefore in Israel there is very little expensive cars, such as Mercedes, BMW. Of course, they occur, but if you look at them as a percentage of Russia, there are much fewer of them. As for some very expensive sports cars, for example, Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti, in the three years of my life in Israel I have never seen such cars. Of course, I’m sure there are such cars in Israel, but I think they can be counted on one hand. Although here everything is conducive to the fact that, if you have a lot of money, buy yourself such a car and enjoy driving around good roads, because in Israel, in fact, the roads are very good.

The sixth unusual fact that may surprise a Russian person is that there are very, very many stray cats in Israel. This is due to the fact that cats live very, very well in Israel: they know that no one will touch them, they are fed, it’s warm and good here, they sunbathe here in the sun and enjoy life. Of course, the state of Israel is trying to fight the breeding of cats, but somehow it’s not very successful. The state catches cats, castrates them at its own expense and releases them back, but cats tend to multiply exponentially, of course, this method does not really work, which is why there are very, very many cats in Israel. By the way, a very interesting fact is that when a street cat is neutered, a small piece of his or her ear is cut off so that people know whether this cat or cat is neutered or not.
