The Israeli "Look"
After 2,000 years in the Diaspora, it seems strange that Israelis can have a special "look" after only 58 years as a state. For instance, the Israeli couple at the consulate "looked" Israeli. I asked Matt what it was that made them look distinctive. Was it their clothes, hairstyle, mannerisms, something else? Matt said it was the sunglass that they wear on top of their kippah (yarmulka). I'm sure my friend David would say that Israeli's seem to constantly smoke and use their cell phones.
But, really, it's something else. It's almost like skin tone, hair style, clothing, demeanor, hand movements, and more. I just can't describe it exactly. Of course, I'm only describing Israeli's I've met in the U.S. Will Israelis in Israel all have this same "look"?
