עמוד:115

“ I also remember , ” Jonathan continued , “ that my aunt and uncle always listened to the Jewish radio station to keep up with the news in Israel . They must’ve felt that what happened here was just as important to them as what happened in the United States , which is kind of strange , since they lived there !” “ That’s interesting , ” said Hadas . “ I have some relatives in France who are French in every way , but they also feel a bit like foreigners there . ” “ The experience for Jews in France and Jews in the United States is really different . We feel 100 % American ! Tell me , do you know any new immigrants ? ” “ The other class in my grade has a teacher from Ethiopia , and I have a really good friend , Yelena , who emigrated from Russia five years ago . I don’t really consider her a new immigrant because she’s just like me . But I never talk about these things with her and I don’t know why her parents decided to make aliyah . I know that new immigrants contribute a lot to our country ... my mother has a lot of respect for Yelena’s parents . She says it’s good for Israel to have Jews from around the world settle here , because all the different cultures and ideas , which are sometimes so different from ours , make the country stronger and broaden our horizons . She’s really into broadening horizons ! ” Hadas and Jonathan burst out laughing . “ I think , ” added Hadas , “ that the best way to broaden my horizons is to taste different kinds of food from all over the world . Do you still have any of the chocolate that you brought from the States ?” “ Sure ... And how will you broaden my horizons ?” “ You have to try different kinds of Israeli foods . What do you feel like eating – Krembo , falafel , humus or maybe ... Bamba ?*” Jonathan hesitated . “ I know , ” continued Hadas , “ you can taste everything ! You might end up with a stomachache , but it’s worth it ... it’s all in the name of education ! ” Krembo and Bamba are two of Israel’s favorite snacks . Be sure to try them if you visit Israel !
