Some Israelis are choosing to forgo air conditioning despite soaring temperatures, citing both environmental concerns and a belief in the body's natural ability to adapt to heat. Maya Hatzir from Kiryat Tivon prefers alternatives like fans, cold showers, and spending time in nature rather than relying on artificial cooling. She and others argue that gradual exposure to heat helps the body build resilience, contrasting with the widespread use of air conditioning across the country. This approach reflects a broader discussion about personal comfort, environmental responsibility, and the wisdom of natural adaptation.
