Being a part of am yisrael is complicated, yet very rewarding. There are many complex ideas and traditions that play into it. Personally, am yisrael provides a culture as well as a religion. Many parts of the culture that are meaningful to me are the holidays and traditional foods. The culture is more prevalent when in Israel. In Israel, days off of school revolve around the Jewish holidays and the main language spoken is Hebrew. When in Israel, you do not have to go out of your way to keep up with the Jewish aspect of your life because your always surrounded by it. This is a really cool aspect of being part of am yisrael and being in Israel also.
Another important part about being a part of am yisrael is Israel advocacy and education. It is important to educate the non-educated and then leave them to make their own decision based on their knowledge. This is especially important when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. People need to be educated when choosing positions on any subject, and this is very important when it affects am yisrael.
Am yisrael provides a community that stems from ancient times. Even though, there are disagreements sometimes, when it gets down to it everyone has each others backs. Being a part of am yisrael means you get a culture, a community, and a lifestyle all in one.
