In my poster, I chose to show the Israel map. On the map, there are certain places I have shown in big letters. I drew pictures of the places I showed and what they are known for. For example, for Jerusalem, I drew the Western Wall and the Dome Of The Rock. A couple of years ago, I got the opportunity to visit Israel for my cousin's Bar Mitzvah. This was my second time in Israel, but this time it affected me more than the first time. In Jerusalem, I got to see a diverse range of people at the Western Wall. I saw people dancing in the streets just because they were happy. Someone whom I had never met even pulled me into their dancing circle. The dancing in the street was already surprising, but getting pulled really shocked me. The Shook was filled with many people, all doing their own thing, yet they are all connected. Since I attend a Jewish school, when I got back, I gave a presentation about my trip. No one seemed to be interested, and they didn’t truly understand what I was showing them. That's when I realized the difference between going to Israel and just learning about it. As someone who is about to move across the contry the only forever home I have is Israel. Going to Israel was an unforgettable experience that showed me that being Jewish isn’t just about attending synagogue. It’s about accepting it, making a community, and telling our story. To me, Israel represents hope. Israel is full of hope, even during a war. Israel doesn’t give up. The national anthem is called Hatikva, meaning hope, which really shows how hopeful they are. Another value is Tickun Olam. Tickun Olam is a Jewish value meaning repairing the world. Although Israel is a tiny country, it still tries to send aid during international disasters. Israel also shares all of its technology, but especially drip irrigation, with countries with less water. Israel shows us all how we can do better. Israel will always be more than a place on a map; to me, it’s where my identity, my people, and our story all come together. The drawing that inspired me was "so whats the plan, Jerusalem?". In this picture, they show the map of Jerusalem, but Israel is so much more than just Jerusalem.
