What are the humanistic characteristics of Israel?

Israeli culture is composed of Judaism and Jewish population with thousands of years of historical experience. With all kinds of immigrants from hundreds of countries on six continents, the Israeli society is quite diverse, artistic and creative. The Israeli government encourages and funds artistic activities. Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem all have perfect art museums, and many towns and farms also have similar museums or historical sites. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem has the Dead Sea Scrolls and a large number of other Jewish and Jewish art collections ... The Museum of Expatriates on Tel Aviv University campus is also quite famous. Many towns in Israel also have art villages.

According to the survey of Israel Census Bureau, 76. 1% of Israelis believe in Judaism, 16.2% in Christianity, 2. 1% in Islam, 1.6% in Druze and 3.9% in other religions.

The Israeli writer shmu El yosef agnon 1966 won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Israeli music is a combination of western music and eastern music, so Israeli music usually adopts eclecticism and absorbs the influence of Jewish diaspora all over the world. Israeli music has also absorbed elements of modern culture. From Jewish songs, Asian songs, Arab pop songs, especially Yemeni singers, to hip-hop music and heavy metal music, they are all part of modern Israeli music.

Traditional Israeli folk music is usually related to Zionist ideals and visions, such as depicting the theme of young Jewish children building and defending beautiful homeland. A similar theme is often called "Song of Israel".

Zubin mehta's Israeli Classical Music Orchestra and Israel's Philharmonia Orchestra are also famous internationally. Itzak Perlman and others are famous Israeli classical musicians.

Like other countries, sports in Israel is a very important national leisure activity. Israel's sports culture is more similar to that of European countries. The development of sports in Israel can be traced back to the beginning of the founding of Israel. Although football and basketball are considered to be the most popular sports in Israel, Israel also performs well in many other sports, such as handball and track and field, and also actively participates in the development and promotion of various sports.

In Israel, sports culture has traditionally focused on participation rather than training elite athletes. One reason is that due to the compulsory military service system, almost all Israeli citizens aged 65,438+08 must participate in military training. Another reason may be that the traditional Jewish spirit emphasizes the importance of cultivating healthy body and mind, but does not support the pursuit of competitive sports forms. This tradition also stems from the historical concept that the Maccabees (and the Temple Return Festival) boycotted the Olympic Games. So many Israelis like some non-competitive sports, such as swimming, hiking and playing Matkot (an Israeli sport similar to tennis) on the beach.

However, many modern Israelis are almost as keen to support football and basketball teams as other Europeans. At the Olympic Games, Israel won medals in judo, kayaking and windsurfing.

Founded in 2007, Israel Baseball League is the first professional baseball league in the world that only plays seven games a season. If the game is tied, it will be decided by a home run, just like the PK game in football. At the end of 2007, it was dissolved due to lack of funds.
