Israel is a place rich in culture and history. It was called the “Promised Land”. It 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 separate country within the Middle East. It is a fairly new and young state; it has been independent for only sixty-six years. The people of Israel fought long and hard to get to this place, and they would not be here if it were not for the visions of the Jewish people who wanted a place to call home. The Land of Israel is the birthplace of the Jewish people and these people were the ones who gave the Jews their identity. Here their spiritual, religious and national identity was formed, they created a culture of national and universal significance, and it is here that they wrote and gave the Bible to the world. Although they were exiles, the Jews were quite determined to achieve their goal. They never gave up and remained faithful to make their dreams come true. They were able to re-establish themselves and were successful. This is clearly demonstrated because they were able to revive the Hebrew language, build villages and cities, and create a thriving community that controlled its own economy and culture. In the Declaration of Independence, so much is laid out right before our eyes, and it speaks to the many visions and values ​​that Israel's founders had in mind to one day build 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... dreams of his or her new life was influenced by the choices he or she made . In reality, the decisions made by the characters altered what they imagined and thus they were faced with disappointment and were forced to face new challenges in life. The tenacity and efforts to achieve one's dreams were strong, but sometimes they were not enough. Therefore many compromises would have had to be made. Due to several factors such as time, contradictions in expectations, and generational tensions with the experience of reality, there are obvious disagreements between visions/dreams and reality. Because everyone experiences life's chapters differently, the ideas and dreams of the Jews were not in balance with the reality of those depicted in real life; there were in fact various inconsistencies and disagreements that people are expected to tolerate.
