In this episode, we talk about "The Big Trip" – a part of the Israeli life journey. Why do so many young Israelis pack a backpack and disappear to India, South America, or the Far East after their army service? How long does the trip usually last, and what are the main reasons behind it? We’ll also explore the deeper meaning some travelers find through volunteering, spirituality, and even Tikun Olam – the idea of repairing the world. Tune in to hear stories, insights, and cultural context about this fascinating post-army tradition.
