 My name is India, and this is a story of Brazil and Israel's extraordinary friendship. Vamo la gente! Brazil is the largest country in Latin America. Israel, on the other hand, is much smaller. In fact, it could fit inside of Brazil 388 times. Yet despite their difference in size, they have a very special bond. I've lived in Brazil and Israel, and both places feel like home to me. Brazil has the ninth largest Jewish population in the world, and there are around 15,000 Brazilians living here in Israel, most of which are Jewish. But before they arrived here, Brazil played a major role in the establishment of Israel. In 1947, Brazil voted in favor of the UN resolution that established Israel as a nation. Here, you can see Brazilian Ambassador Oswaldo Aranya. He was the president of the UN General Assembly at the time, and fought tirelessly to pass the resolution that created Israel. In honor of his contribution, there are several streets in Israel named after him. Today, Israelis are quite fascinated with Brazilian culture. It may look like we are in Rio de Janeiro, but we are on a beach in Tel Aviv. You can even see Israelis playing one of Brazil's favorite sports, It's like playing volleyball, but with your feet. Now, this is Kogomello. He is an Israeli who is famous across the country for bringing together Israeli and Brazilian culture. They're doing this. Capoeira. It is a Brazilian martial art that uses dance and music, and Kogomello is a capoeira master and a children's star here in Israel. But now, I would like you to meet one more special guest. Some have said before that Israel is the promised land, and Brazil is the land of promise. Brazil and Israel's friendship is one of a kind. It is deeply rooted in mutual respect and admiration. It just goes to show that true friendship flourishes when you work hard at building it. This is the story of Israel and Brazil.
