Is Israel the Scariest or Happiest Country? | Unpacked

In a region fraught with conflict, Israel consistently ranks as one of the happiest nations on earth. Bound by family, united through community, and strengthened by a shared resilience, Israelis embrace life amid adversity. Choosing hope over despair, their happiness endures not because life is easy, but because choosing happiness is a defiant act of faith in a place where life is cherished, even in the toughest of times. 00:00 Intro 00:46 Factors of life happiness 01:10 Social cohesion 03:48 Sense of purpose 06:55 Free and open society 10:27 Sense of unity 12:40 Optimism, resilience, and hope Subscribe and turn on your notifications so you don’t miss future uploads! https://www.youtube.com/UNPACKED?sub_confirmation=1 Recommended video—Can Israel Be a Democracy AND a Jewish State? | Explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsdffr0flrM&list=PL-DNOnmKkUabACAXOv7N5VVSTxDGTELaV&index=1 We have merch! – http://shop.jewishunpacked.com/?utm_medium=youtube&utm_source=video-description&utm_campaign=merch Let’s connect: Website — https://www.jewishunpacked.com Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/jewishunpacked Twitter — https://twitter.com/jewishunpacked TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@jewishunpacked Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/jewishunpacked ----------- Image and footage credits: 20th century fox Walt disney studios motion pictures Touchstone pictures Al Jazeera I24 news NBC AP Columbia pictures Sony pictures Amc Paramount pictures Tristar pictures WION Focus features תנועת בני עקיבא בישראל It’s relevant tv וזה הקול, שירת המונים והפקות מוזיקליות Bnei Akiva Kan AP FIRM Israel CBN News Merchavim Zeitgeist films TML news Hand in Hand Future Investment Initiative New Line Cinema CNA VICE 60 Minutes ZAKA France 24 MGM United Artists Universal Pictures Paramount vantage ----------- Co-Executive Producers: Dr. Shmuel and Evelyn Katz Platinum Level: Stephanie & Gilad Abrahami Barry Skolnick Gold Level: Charles Crane Family Foundation Silver Level: Corie & Michael Koss Lustman family Bronze Level: Julia & Brad Berger Mimi & Akiva Friend Marci & Andrew Spitzer Stephanie & Ilan Ulmer This video is in partnership with The Weisfeld Family Charitable Foundation ----------- Translation credits: Portuguese: Saymon Pires, www.livrariasafra.com.br, @safralivraria About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion. Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between. About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking. #israel #happy #scary
