Israel is home to Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, and people of many different backgrounds and traditions. That diversity is part of the Israel too many people never get to see or hear about. 🇮🇱 Follow @israelappday and discover the Israel you may not know.

There it is. Three-quarters of the UN General Assembly walking out before Netanyahu could even speak. The same people who never stop lecturing Israel about diplomacy refused to sit in a room and listen. Hypocrisy with translation headsets.

Sukkot brings Jewish tradition to life across Israel. 🇮🇱 For seven days, sukkahs appear on balconies, rooftops, and throughout communities as families gather to eat, celebrate, and carry forward a tradition thousands of years old. In Israel, Jewish history isn’t just remembered. It’s lived. Happy Sukkot! Chag Sameach!

If you have been duped by the Hamas propaganda aided & abetted by “journalists” who were useful idiots of Hamas, it’s time to wise up.

From the Embassy of Israel, we wish everyone Gmar Chatima Tova and an easy and meaningful fast. We will be signing off for the duration of Yom Kippur, but we look forward to returning soon to share the spirit and stories of Israel with you.

WATCH WHO CONDEMNS ISRAEL AT THE UN — AND WHAT THEY REFUSE TO CONDEMN. As the UN General Assembly brings world leaders to New York, listen carefully. Leaders from Iran and other Muslim-majority countries will have the world’s microphone — and Israel will again be a target. But accountability cannot be selective. When leaders condemn Israel, ask what they say about Hamas, Islamist terrorism, Iran’s aggression, Israeli victims, and Israel’s right to defend itself. Don’t accept rhetoric as fact. Know who is speaking. Check the facts. Challenge the double standards. Demand accountability. 🇺🇸🇮🇱✡️ @IsraelinUN @UN

WHAT IF THE HARDEST PART OF YOM KIPPUR ISN’T ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS — BUT DECIDING WHO YOU’LL BECOME NEXT? On the holiest day of the Jewish year, we confront the past — our mistakes, our wounds, what was done to us, what we have done, and what we must change within ourselves. Take the lessons. Leave the bitterness. Return to your values, your purpose, and your people — then turn reflection into action. May we move forward with greater courage, goodness, purpose, and light. G’mar Chatimah Tovah — may you be sealed for a good year. ✡️

Once a year in Israel, on Yom Kippur, the streets are empty of cars. No noise pollution. Just the sounds of people, animals and bikes. It’s an amazing experience.

🇮🇱 On Yom Kippur, Israel goes quiet. For roughly 25 hours, roads empty, businesses close, flights stop, and synagogues fill. Millions of Israelis fast, pray, reflect, and seek forgiveness. Israelis may observe Yom Kippur in different ways, but an ancient Jewish tradition still shapes the rhythm of an entire modern country. For one extraordinary day, a nation pauses for faith, reflection, and renewal.

If Israel "boycotters" actually boycotted Israel, they would be devastated without the technology and medical innovations that assist them everyday.

You probably use Waze without thinking about where it came from. The answer? Israel. 🇮🇱 In 2006, Israeli engineer Ehud Shabtai started FreeMap, a community-driven project to build a free digital map of Israel. He later joined forces with entrepreneurs Uri Levine and Amir Shinar to build what would become Waze, a crowdsourced navigation app powered by drivers and real-time road information.
