Over the summer I was asked the question, "what is your favorite thing about Israel." My answer was Tel Aviv and how it is a real city with a lot of great design studios. A friend of mine was horrified that I answered that. To him it seemed almost heretical that my favorite part of the country could be something so secular.
I tried to explain to him that that's exactly why it was my favorite thing. That Israel with all it's history, and meaning and holiness was still a real place. It isn't some biblical fantasy land to which I can't relate. It isn't that I think design firms are more important than 2000 years of history and a promise from God, it is just that I think that the modernization of the land of Israel symbolizes continuity and God's delivery of those promises.
I write about this today because a friend gave me the exact words to express my feelings:
"I have fallen in love with corporate Israel, its exactly like corporate America but everyone also speaks Hebrew!"
Thanks Chaim!
