Teens in Israel

the long version

Israel was created as a country to unite the Jewish people. In reality, it is a land filled with a variety of cultures and religions that influence the lives and experiences of young Israelis. Israel's teens are challenged—living in a country that is often filled with tension—but they do not live in fear. They attend school, hang out with friends, and enjoy their families. Teens in Israel is part of Global Connections, a series that uncovers the challenges, pastimes, and customs of teens around the world.
