After such a challenging summer, the staff at ISRAEL21c decided we needed to do something special to celebrate Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year.
With everyone hoping for a sweeter new year ahead, it seemed natural to ask some of our good friends how they planned to eat their apple and honey this year.
Their replies were not what we expected!
From skydiving, to climbing, Segway riding, and surfing – Israelis like to take an imaginative approach to their holiday traditions.
Join us for the ride. Click on the video to find out how Israelis like to celebrate Rosh Hashana.
And thanks to everyone who took part, helping us show the world the real spirit and diversity of Israel.
