Understanding and Excelling within Israeli Culture

Background

One of the biggest frustrations for Western immigrants in Israel is that they expect Israelis to act with the same western assumptions and culture that they are used to from the “old country”. The trick is to understand what the cultural differences are in Israel, and then learn to not just live with this foreign culture, but thrive within it

Points covered

  • Understanding Israeli culture, nuances, and assumptions
  • Understanding the pros and cons of both Western and Israeli cultures
  • Learning to appreciate that the intention of any culture is positive
  • Focusing on interpretations of these behavior in a way that serves you

Take home skills

  • Maintain your own culture without getting lost in Israeli culture
  • Learn to go back and forth between your culture and Israeli culture
  • Learn to create a Western/Israeli culture that is better than either culture by itself
