Disguised Force behind Israeli Jew’s travel to India - Their closed knitted community’s instinct

Abstract

Purpose: In the present paper our focus is to discuss Jews, Israeli Jews and their natural instinct that prompts them to visit India. Since majority of Israeli Nationals are Jews, we will also take the liberty to discuss Israeli’s (and not necessarily Israeli Jews) attraction towards India and its one single reason to get magnetized to India. Majority of Jews these days are Jews by birth only and not by virtue. Their religious instinct is no more predominating. Their religious practices are more of family & social customary in nature than call from the inner soul and thus Judaism remains just a lifestyle at the best. Judaism practice and participate prevails because they have been taught and experienced from childhood and honestly they do not believe in core values of Judaism. Also Jews are from many different nations and thus they have different religions degree of belief from: some hard core Orthodox to Jews who do not even care for the religious books and Synagogue visits. Israelis becoming more modern day by day, they all have developed independent thoughts and ideologies. And so they tend to prefer more reliance on promotional channels rather than the family opinion and thought process even when it comes to choosing a travel destination. They prefer going to a travel agent, and getting more hooked up with the magazines, newspaper ads and road shows.
