The shifting borders of Israel over a relatively short period of time have raised a lot of questions. What does Israel look like? Where are the borders today? I was thrilled to see these questions discussed with a group through the IsraelExperts map program.
The experience started with masking tape and a floor. The chairs were arranged in a circle. As the participants were taking their seats Joe Perlov was already on his hands and knees outlining the country with the tape on the floor. He asked what was wrong with the map and the discussion started.
This approach to Israel — its shifting borders — was an eye-opener, and something I had not really thought about. It also was a lot clearer and easier to understand once it was laid out in front of me. It was a really cool discussion and is a great way to advertise an Israel trip, intensify the on-ground experience of Israel and its history, and provide much food for thought after you return home.
