Israelism& Judaism in Japan

Israeli people will always find each other, nomatter where. Being abroad, bumping into the "Israeli Crew" is inevitable.

Jewish people has arrived to Japan at 1862. In fact, during my stay in Japan, I found out far family relatives of mine- were living in KOBE, Japan years ago. Kobe Jewish community is active today as well.

In Tokyo I happened to meet many Jewish and Israelis. In addition, there are several "Formal" Jewish facilities that do Jewish activities; Shabbath dinners and Holidays. The Israeli Embassy make once in a while a gathering as well.

Here are some Tokyo Jewish pics

Israel support demonstration, as a result of violent anti-Israeli demonstrations around the world and the Japanese media- that presents the Israeli-Arabic conflict in a pretty twisted way. (well... Japan is still world's no. 1 energy consumer...)
