I was there on a Med Cruise with NATO Forces when I was in the Navy back in 78. For the most part, Europe did not like or welcome Americans, especially military.

Except in Isreal. The people of Israel were welcoming, friendly, and generous. I loved the history of the place, but the people of Israel are what was my favorite thing about it.

I greatly rejoice in Hashem, My whole being exults in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of triumph, Wrapped me in a robe of victory, Like a bridegroom adorned with a turban, Like a bride bedecked with her finery
Isaiah 61:10 (The Israel Bible™)

Hear the verse in Hebrew

SOS a-SEES ba-do-NAI ta-GAYL naf-SHEE bay-lo-HAI KEE hil-bee-SHA-nee big-day
YE-sha m’-EEL tz’-da-KAH y’-a-TA-nee ke-kha-TAN y’-kha-HAYN p’-AYR v’-kha-ka-LAH ta-DEH khay-LE-ha

Today is the 17th of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar. This day commemorates the breach of the walls of Jerusalem, which occurred on the 17th Tammuz, and begins a three-week mourning period over the fall of Jerusalem which ends on the 9th of Av. The Jewish people observe a number of customs mourning the loss of the Holy Temple. These include not wearing excessive amounts of jewelry, and not listening to live music as a reminder that the complete rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple has yet to come.
