  • Essay / The visions of Israel's founders compared to reality

    Israel is a place rich in culture and history. It was called the “Promised Land”. This was promised to Abraham's descendant, Jacob. Israel was the name given to Jacob after his fight with the Angel of God (Genesis 32:28). It became an independent state in 1948, when it was recognized by the United Nations as a country in its own right in the Middle East. It is a relatively new and young state; it has only been independent for sixty-six years. The people of Israel fought long and hard to get here, and they would not have gotten there without the visions of the Jewish people who wanted a place they could call home. The Land of Israel is the birthplace of the Jewish people and it is this people who gave the Jews their identity. Their spiritual, religious and national identity was formed here, they created a culture of national and universal significance, and it was here that they wrote and gave the Bible to the world. Although exiled, the Jewish people were determined to achieve their goal. They never gave up and remained faithful to make their dreams come true. They were able to recover and were successful. This is clearly demonstrated because they were able to revive the Hebrew language, build villages and towns, and create a thriving community that controlled its own economy and culture. In the Declaration of Independence, so much is laid out before our eyes: and it speaks of the many visions and values ​​that Israel's founders had in mind in order to one day raise a great nation. They wanted the immigration of the Jews and the gathering of the exiles as well as the development of the country especially for the benefit of all the inhabitants of Israel...... middle of paper ...... reams on his new life were influenced by the choices he made. In reality, the decisions the characters made changed what they envisioned and thus they were faced with disappointment and forced to take on new challenges in life. Perseverance and effort to make their dreams come true was strong, but sometimes it wasn't enough. Many compromises therefore had to be made. Due to different factors such as time, contradictions in expectations and generational tensions related to the experience of reality, there are obvious disagreements between visions/dreams and reality. Since everyone experiences the chapters of life differently, the ideas and dreams of the Jews did not correspond to the reality of those depicted in real life; there have indeed been various inconsistencies as well as disagreements that the people are required to tolerate.
