Replying to @trcarson1218 Abie Hamra is a Syrian Jew and such a joy! This delegation is a huge mix of Jews and some non-Jews as well, all here to support @@Israel. Some more religious, some less, some not at all, but we are all laughing together, bearing witness together, helping each other. It’s a beautiful thing! #israeltiktok #tefillin #jewishprayer #jewishtiktok

@@Israel it is truly an honor to be here with the ministry of foreign affairs!! This trip is to continue sharing the story of Israel, and the emotional ups and downs truly represent what Israel is all about! Resilience, even in the hardest times 🙏🏻🇮🇱 #resilient #israeltiktok #vlogoftheday #jewishtiktok #october7

Not all hotels in Israel are like this but so many have this option and soooooo many are kosher hotels so the hotel breakfast and room service are kosher too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #kosherfood #sabbathmode #orthodoxjewishlife #jewishtiktok

The King David Hotel in Jerusalem is close to 100 years old and is for sure the most famous hotel in Israel. This was my first time staying there and even tho it was only for one night, the breakfast made it all worth it!!! #israeltiktok #hotelbreakfast #kosherfood @@Israel #jewishtiktok

Every time I land in Israel, it’s very emotional but it’s extra tough seeing so many hostage posters and each one is more and more decorated every time I land. It would be interesting to see them side by side from my first trip here after 10/7/23 in December 😭 #bringthemhome #israeltiktok #jewishtiktok #amyisraelchai

Replying to @Malachi 🥵 this has me REALLY excited for Wicked Part 2!! @Trejah Bostic your voice is like a dream! I can’t wait to see all the places you’ll go in this life and I’m so grateful I got to witness this on @Royal Caribbean symphony of the seas! #cruisetok #cruiselife #somewhereovertherainbow

I was invited by the @@Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come with a group of influencers, creators, and writers to document the trip and it is such an honor to be here #resilient #jewishtiktok #israeltiktok #kosherfood

Shabbat and Shabbos are the same thing, just said a little differently. And don’t worry, I’m not here in Jerusalem alone, I have family friends staying with me #jerusalem #jewishtiktok #israel #shabbatshalom

482 days! If that doesn’t sicken you, I don’t know what else I can say. Even ONE day as a hostage is too much and they spent 482 days being abused and starved #bringthemhome #jewishtiktok #israeltiktok

What’s your favorite hotel buffet??? I love a kosher hotel so much because it’s very unique in the US to find a kosher hotel, tho there are a few that exist #kosherfood #hotelbreakfast #jewishtiktok #israel

Majdal Shams is a Druze village in the Golan Heights, very close to the borders of Syria and Lebanon. The Majdal Shams attack from Hzbollah that took 12 innocent childrens lives happened onbJuly 27 2024, when a rocket hit a soccer field. A horrible tragedy!!!! #israeltiktok @@Israel #jewishtiktok #majdalshams

At dinner, we met with Moran Stella Yanai, who was held captive by Hms in Gaza for 54 days! We didn’t take any video out of respect but let me tell you, Moran is one of the strongest and most spiritual women I have ever met in my life! She reminded us that every day is a gift, even on our hardest days 🙏🏻 #israeltiktok @@Israel #resilience #vlogoftheday #jewishtiktok

The Gaza envelope is the territory in Israel that is within 7 km of the Gaza Strip. I’ve farmed here, I’ve visited destroyed Kibbutzim here, and now I’ve eaten an incredible farm to table lunch here at Organica Farm 🙏🏻🙏🏻 And no, people in Gaza are NOT starving so get that propaganda out of your head. Unrwa and Unicef are sending aid into Gaza every single day! If only they actually spoke up and told you #israeltiktok #farmtotable #kosherfood #jewishtiktok @@Israel #resilience @Alyssa Goldwater @Ami Kozak

I know people who hate israel want to believe that they are starving the Gazans but every single day, hundreds of trucks of aid and medicine are delivered into Gaza from Israel. You can even see the UNICEF and UNRWA stickers! You can make all the excuses you want but even prior to the war, about 80 trucks were going into Gaza every day from Israel #israeltiktok #humanitarianaid #jewishtiktok @@Israel #resilient
