The Jewish Innovation

We are a group of university students from the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (IDC), volunteering with the StandWithUs Fellowship Leadership Program. StandWithUs is an international organization that seeks to educate about Israel and improve Israel’s image worldwide.

We are bringing six leading food bloggers to Israel, from around the world, between September 2 – 7, 2012. The bloggers will tour Israel, experience its diverse cuisine and investigate the reality of the hidden gem of culinary culture available here. At the end of each day they will write about what they have experienced and tasted.

Israel has a rich blend of cultures and at the heart of our culture is food. We wish to take that integral element of every person’s life and display the unique blends of cuisine resulting from such a cosmopolitan society.

Taste of Israel’s idea is to showcase the multiculturalism in Israel through food. The bloggers will enjoy a week long “journey” through tastes, history, and the beautiful land of Israel. They will visit restaurants, wineries, dairy farms, markets, and more.

The Impact

The overarching goal is to uncover the treasure of Israeli food through this small, but powerful group, which will broadcast their findings through various media outlets, whereby they will not only share Israeli culinary successes, but also inadvertently demonstrate the diversity of Israelis themselves.

We believe that the influence these bloggers have will help create a shift in perception of Israel around the world.

Each blogger has more than 100,000 followers on Twitter and we hope that with a positive Taste of Israel experience these bloggers will, in turn, have make a positive impact on their audiences at home.

What Will You Do with the Money?

Thankfully, we have already managed to raise a significant amount of money for our cause, but we need a little more to finalize everything and get the program on the road. We will use the money raised for accommodation and transportation for the food bloggers Israel experience.

Yaeli Cohen
, Israel

My name is Yaeli; I'm 28 years old and live in Haifa. I'm a part of the "StandWithUs Fellowship" group of the Technion & Haifa Uninversity. I study Computer Science in the "Ofakin" honors program at Haifa University. We came up with an idea for a project that would help unveil Israel's story via food. Food is an international language and it has the ability to bridge people, places, cultures, religions and ideas. Israel has become a culinary pearl because of its rare collection of ethnicities – causing an overlapping combination of old-world tastes and modern gourmet. Food lovers that travel to Israel are exposed to the unique experience of seeing Israel through a new prism.
