The day and night of Israel

In 2019, it all began with my landing at Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel. At that time, I was still an undergraduate and had no idea that the world order would be turned upside down in just one year. Israel's religious color is very strong, and Hebrew culture finally settled and grew here. Located in western Asia, it borders the Mediterranean Sea to the west, and the city climate in winter is very dry. Tel Aviv is a fashionable city with plenty of delicious food and fun activities; Jerusalem is a solemn city where the intricate history is intertwined. But my favorite is the ancient city of Jaffa in the south of Tel Aviv. Jaffa is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a mysterious atmosphere tinged with the salty sea breeze and the yellowed memories of the past. Israel is intense, indescribable, heavy but equally lively. It is a fruit stand marked in Hebrew, peace&love carved at the door of ordinary people, seven-branched candelabra, and people hurrying under the magnificent Bahai Gardens. I love the food here and also miss the spices here, but I don't belong to that history. Only standing in a neutral position, observing Israel from afar day and night. I remember reading in "A Thousand-Year Sigh" during my childhood, "The night tide rises on the Greek seaside, and the autumn wind is cool in Jerusalem."
