A deeply personal memoir of transformation, courage, and cultural discovery. In Israel and Beyond, author C D Pradeep shares the remarkable true story of his journey from Kerala, India to the heart of Israel's diamond industry. With honesty and heart, he recounts his experiences as an immigrant navigating language barriers, religious customs, modern freedoms, and a workplace built on trust and innovation. From the high-security towers of the Israel Diamond Exchange to the quiet discipline of Sabbath streets, from traditional Kerala fish curries cooked in a foreign land to the challenges of raising a family abroad-this memoir paints a vivid portrait of what it means to live between cultures. Through moments of joy, ethical dilemmas, surprising friendships, and cultural shocks, the author reflects on belonging, integrity, and the quiet longing for home. He even dares to dream of a borderless world-where people are not divided by maps, but united by meaning. This is not just a travelogue. It is a meditation on family, identity, and the power of inner strength. If you've ever lived away from home, worked in a different culture, or wondered how values survive in unfamiliar soil-this book will resonate deeply.
