A Taste of Israeli Life Carrie Taylor Goldberg

This book takes the reader along on unique travel adventures, through touching and humorous anecdotes, with a Canadian learning to live like a local in Israel. From apartment dwellings to riding the rakevet, Hebrew language ulpan to donning an army uniform, it may form a bridge of understanding inside and outside of the Jewish community.

Humbly learn from the Jewish community with me. Come, see the beauty of the Land and People of Israel through my eyes. Sample a taste of Israeli life-in peaceful moments and in the midst of rocket fire. Experience the wonder of my first time there, and explore deeper as over 18 months' span familiar surroundings retained a unique place in my heart and soul.

See - the historical landscape and meet the diverse peoples
Hear - Hebrew, the sounding of the shofar, the cooing of the dove
Smell - the varied fragrant incense, the sweet jasmine flower
Taste - the famous falafal, milk and honey, fresh-picked fruit
Touch - the waxy, bumpy Western Wall where multitudes have wept
