Israelis who are born in the Holy Land are called “sabras.” A sabra is a cactus that grows abundantly in Israel. It is covered with spikey thorns, but the fruit is well worth the effort. It is sweet and delicious, just like Israelis. We may be a bit rough on the outside, but we are soft and sweet inside!
Dorit created this happy laser-cut metal sabra as a fun way to celebrate the Israeli national character. There is no gift (for yourself or a loved one) that is more Israeli than this charming Sabra happily featuring the blue and white Israeli flag!
Dorit’s Sabra is a must-have addition to your home for those who love Israel!
