Today, Chattanooga’s Jewish Cultural Center is celebrating Israel’s Independence Day, also known as Yom Ha’atzmaut, which commemorates the Israeli Declaration of Independence proclaimed in 1948.
In honor of the holiday, here are three interesting facts we bet you didn’t know about Israel:
1. Israel was the first country to ban underweight models.
2. The glue on Israeli stamps is kosher.
3. In Israel, you can buy hummus-flavored ice cream.
