As an involved Jew, I've learned about Israel my entire life. I learned about Israel in school, and I've talked endlessly about Israel to those who have gone there. Everyone I've talked to has spoken about Israel in a distinct way, so I mindlessly synthesized their perspectives on Israel in order to create my own expectations. However, I must remember not to be restricted by others perspectives on Israel; my expectations need not fulfill how others perceive Israel. Rather, I must think interpret Israel on my own. This Israel experience will be only mine, not defined by others experiences .
