Feeling at Home: Exploring Israeli and American Commercials

 

Videos

From iCenter.org:

In English there is a difference between a house and a home. A house is a structure. To build a house requires technical knowledge, materials and financing. A house serves as a place to keep our belongings and protect us. But a home is different. You can live in a house that doesn't feel like home. To be a home, it needs to feel like a place you belong. A place you feel at peace. Comfortable.
In Hebrew there is only one word for both the structure and this sense of belonging: Bayit (בית).
Watch American and Israeli commercials draw upon the concept of "home".
