The character of most Jews?

People often use "Sabras" to describe Israelis. "Sabras" means cactus fruit. It can be said that it is more appropriate to describe the character of Israelis with this kind of cactus fruit which is hard and prickly in appearance but quite sweet in heart.

There are two sentences in Hebrew that are frequently used in daily life, namely "Zeyma yesh" (as it is) and "ye-heye

besedr" (everything will be fine). These two sentences vividly reflect the strong and upward character of the Israelis.

Israelis face all kinds of pressures in their lives, but they are by no means complainers of life. They are used to working with all available conditions. Whenever encountering difficulties and unexpected troubles, many people may feel unbearable or furious: "How can this be" and "I can't believe this fact". However, the Israelis always shrug their shoulders, shake their heads and whisper, "That's the way it is." Then use further efforts and the highest spirit and patience to overcome the difficulties. There is a more explicit saying in the Israeli army: "This is what it is-but we will definitely win".

"Everything will be fine" is a simple expression of optimism and hope, which can be said to have become the motto of Israelis. No matter from the daily high inflation and increasingly tight housing, or the Scud missile attack in the Gulf War, what you hear most among the Israeli government and people is not helpless "What should we do?" Or the complaints of "God bless us" and "When will it be the end", but the positive "Everything will be fine". This sentence reflects the personality of the Israeli nation, that is, the spirit and belief of being capable, confident, optimistic and full of hope no matter what happens. It is said that in 1976, the Israeli army killed an officer in the rescue of hostages at Kampala airport in Uganda. Later, when sorting out the officer's letters, he found his masterpiece-a letter from home written five days before his death. In the letter, he first expressed his worries about the turbulent world and the constant wars, but even so, he wrote "ye-heye

besedr" at the end of the letter.

refusing to say "no" The Israelis, through their own efforts, have turned this desolate, arid and barren land into a rich and productive modern industrial country. One of the experiences of this achievement is that both individuals and groups refuse to answer with the word "no". Israelis don't recognize obstacles and insurmountable limits that seem insurmountable to others. Optimism, determination and the belief that man can conquer nature not only enabled the Jews to establish the state of Israel, but also created human miracles such as flowers blooming in the desert.

Emphasis on the positive side, upward spirit, and the attitude of "having a way" permeates all aspects of Israeli life. This country has made remarkable achievements in industry and agriculture, and its advanced technology and experience are obtained through self-study and repeated practice through perseverance. Israelis are very proud of their excellent problem-solving ability.

Keeping optimistic spirit is the characteristic of Israelis. Only with this spirit can we not be negative and pessimistic when things happen, and we will have the confidence to solve problems through effective actions. Israel is an action-oriented society.

The formation of these characteristics of Israelis is based on their living environment. The "no choice" environment in which Israelis live makes them constantly realize that they are living in a limited and constrained world-a narrow territory, a small population, hostile neighbors and a lack of natural resources, which makes many seemingly impossible things feasible.

The situation facing Israelis is to act or die. There is no retreat, no room for procrastination, no room for making mistakes and no safety factor. This living environment enables Israelis to perform their duties under all dangerous and difficult conditions, and they act quickly and effectively; Strong and calm.

Modern Israelis are characterized by short hairstyles (for both men and women), sunglasses, smoking (due to war and other pressures, the proportion of Israeli smokers is high) and wearing Israeli slippers. Men and women look very manly, and whether in business or other social activities, Israelis often appear indifferent, and it is not easy to be close in social activities.

The hardness of the Israeli appearance is also obvious at the dinner table. Many Israelis always point to what they want and say "pass it" directly, instead of politely saying "trouble ……" or "please ……"

Israelis are used to going straight, which often gives people the impression that they lack "gentlemanly manners". If a man opens the door for a lady in the same trade, she will feel unaccustomed, because Israeli men often don't care about these subtle gentleman manners.

Generally, Israelis often give people the impression that they are silent and few words, and both men and women are action-oriented rather than verbal. When answering other people's questions, it is also very short and crisp. Sometimes it is too much trouble to move your tongue, so just use a gesture to express it. For example, when it is necessary to politely tell each other "please wait a moment", Israelis generally don't say it, but show it by stretching out their arms and putting five fingers inward. Shake your head or touch two rows of teeth to say "no"

The sweet side inside Israelis, though seemingly indifferent, stern and manly, pay more attention to family life than the western world. The social life of Israelis is basically around the family. After work on weekdays, most people stay at home. Even on weekends or holidays, they stay with their families in Otawa or visit their parents and friends.

Israelis generally don't eat out. The restaurant food culture in many developed and developing countries rarely works here. Cooking at home is a rule. Israeli relatives and friends move around more, but they usually entertain friends or guests at home and rarely go to restaurants. Besides, for religious reasons, Israelis generally don't drink alcohol.

As an Israeli, you must learn and have the ability to cope with all kinds of difficulties and live in adversity. The tense pace of life, the temporary difficulties brought by a large number of immigrants, and the deadly insecurity caused by war and terrorist activities all require every Israeli to learn how to maintain a psychological balance and improve it through effective actions such as hard work. It is necessary for every Israeli to remain optimistic. After a hard day's work, the Israelis came home, put on Israeli slippers, sat on the sofa, put the newspaper of the day on their legs, ate all kinds of melons and fruits, and read the newspaper at the same time, which relaxed their nervous nerves and made them relaxed.

Everyone is a banker. Many rich bankers in the world are Jews. In fact, in terms of daily financial management, all Israelis can be called bankers. Because the Israeli currency (shekel) is often threatened by inflation, the government has also introduced various credit plans, which makes Israelis often deal with banks. At the gate of the bank, you can often see long queues. Israelis rarely open only one account. Generally, in addition to a shekel account, they should try to open another account related to international hard currency. Usually, I use the Shekel account to pay the daily living expenses, and if there is any surplus, I will change it into international hard currency and deposit it in another account. By doing so, we can avoid the pain of high inflation, and secondly, we can reduce the losses caused by the low interest rate of shekel deposits.

Another prominent phenomenon is that Israelis often "overdraw" legally, and it is common for banks to keep "" or "-"on their balance sheets. When this happens, the bank usually automatically balances the overdraft's salary or income next month. Of course, if it is delayed for 3 days, the bank will be fined. Therefore, how to make rational use of "overdraft" and cooperate with the so-called "split payment" and "long-term payment" is a compulsory course for Jews who are good at business.

"Don't drive" In Israel, after terrorism, the biggest threat to people's lives is "Don't drive". The incidence of traffic accidents in Israel is among the highest in the world, although only 25% of families in this country own cars. The high accident rate is mainly due to the Israeli driving habit of speeding, crossing the yellow line, not giving the signal to change lanes, coming with confidence and being indifferent, as if nobody was watching.

Israel is one of the few countries in the world, that is, it stipulates that the yellow traffic light is a signal to prepare for driving, not a warning sign to stop. So when the drivers saw the yellow light, they prayed, stepped on the accelerator and started, and went into high speed with a whoosh.

When you travel in Israel by bus, you will not forget the beautiful scenery of Israel, but what is even more memorable is the fast driving of the bus driver. Even at the corner, on the mountain road. The bus seems to be running on only two tires on one side, which makes people feel surprised in a cold sweat.

So, what causes this suicidal driving habit? To sum up, there are several points: first, compared with western countries, Israel's highway conditions are not very good, such as the road surface is not wide, the subgrade is not ideal, the roadside lacks rest stops and emergency repair places, etc. Once a car gets on the expressway, it is often impossible to stop if it wants to, and even it is difficult to find a place to breathe; Second, there are very few traffic policemen patrolling on the expressway, and the limited police force of the country is mostly used to deal with terrorist actions and maintain social order, and there is no time to take care of things on the expressway. Although the statistics of increasing traffic deaths every year and the reports of terrible traffic accidents have repeatedly aroused public appeals, the lack of manpower and financial budget and restrictions have always hindered the early establishment of public patrol agencies; Thirdly, because of economic reasons, Israelis can't spend a lot of money on car maintenance after buying a car, but the utilization rate of the car is very high, so you can often see cars that break down on the highway. Many vicious accidents are also related to this; Fourth, of course, the most important thing is the Israeli character. As we mentioned earlier, Israel is a small country surrounded by hostile neighbors, and any small external vibration will cause Israel's vibration. Israelis always feel the existence of danger, making them take an extreme fatalistic attitude and eat, drink and be merry. As Teddy

Collec, the former mayor of Jerusalem, said, "Think about it, if you have to fight a big battle every ten years, safe driving will not occupy an important position in your mind." This reflects the mentality of the Israelis, which makes many people who have been in the military for many years and have not died on the battlefield eventually die on the highway because of speeding, such as the death of the only son of former Israeli President Oeser Weizmann.
