Think you know Israel? Think again.
National Jewish Book Award winner and Amazon bestseller, Israel 201 takes readers beyond the headlines to explore the people, culture, humor, contradictions, and everyday realities that make Israel unlike any other country in the world.
Written by acclaimed comedians and longtime Israeli residents Joel Chasnoff and Benji Lovitt, this entertaining and insightful guide answers the questions visitors rarely think to ask. and explains the uniquely Israeli logic behind the answers. Why do children ride bicycles on Yom Kippur? Why are Israelis so famously direct? How can ancient traditions coexist with cutting-edge innovation? And what do stray cats, stand-up comedy, the IDF, and Shabbat have in common?
Blending sharp humor with thoughtful cultural insight, the authors explore religion, politics, history, language, food, military service, family life, and the quirks that define modern Israeli society. Whether you're visiting Israel for the first time, already know the country well, or simply want to understand it beyond the news, Israel 201 offers an engaging, nuanced, and often laugh-out-loud perspective.
Part travel companion, part cultural guide, and part comedy, Israel 201 is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the Israel you didn't know you didn't know.

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
