Israel's brief, turbulent history and the Arab-Israeli conflict are always taken into account in the narrative; however, the emphasis here is nonpolitical and encompassing of the heterogenous culture of its citizens, including Jews, Arabs, Druze, and others. The predominant Jewish culture itself is multicultural, with immigrants from all over the world.||Israel, a tiny state about the sCulture and customs of the Middle East.EthnologyIsraelIsraelSocial life and customsElectronic books.Ethnology306/.095694Torstrick Rebecca L.1954-880013MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451927103321Culture and customs of Israel1965073UNINA
