I LOVE THESE ISRAELI YIDDEN!!! Their neighbors are radicalized Arabs, armed to the teeth, their “big ally” isn’t such an ally, the world economy is in long-term free-fall –and they’re optimistic! Anyone else would be “misty-optic”! Mi k’Amcha Yisroel!”
They are truly OPTIMISTIC since every day is a blessing. Just listen to how the Israeli taxi drivers speak..
