How do you Travel from Israel to Jordan by rent car?
It's not possible.
There are three crossings between Jordan and Israel:
- Wadi Araba Crossing/South Border, located in the south, connecting the two Red Sea resorts of Eilat and Aqaba. This is the border crossing with the lightest traffic and therefore the most recommendable for crossing. It is also close to the Jordanian site of Petra.
- Sheikh Hussein crossing /North Border is 90km away from Amman. It is located in the north, close to Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee).
- The Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, 57km away from Amman is located between Jordan and the West Bank. It is the least recommendable border crossing since it empties into the West Bank, which is a traffic nightmare, not to mention a little more dangerous. Additionally, you would have to change vehicles and come with VISAs pre-written.
However, I am not aware of any rental company that will allow you to cross the border and I am also fairly certain that the Jordanian government forbids crossing with rental cars. What is probably easier is to take a short bus ride across the border and rent a different car in the other country.

What is the Israeli sacred text called?
Israel is a modern country with a secular government. (There are religious parties in the government, but it is not a theocracy.) Israel has no sacred texts (just like Britain, France, India, Thailand, and all other nations do not have sacred texts), but like all countries, it has a Constitution. In the Israeli Case, similar to the British Case, the Constitution is not one document, but several Basic Laws that work together to form a unified set of parameters for the Israeli government.
If you meant to ask what the sacred texts of Judaism are called, please see the Related Question below which discusses the Jewish Holy Book called the Tanakh or Jewish Bible.
It is also worth noting that while Israel is the Jewish State, there are a number of religious minorities in Israel aside from Jews. These minorities include Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Baha'i among its citizens and include Hinduism, Sikhism, Shenism and Confucianism additionally among its resident guest workers. Each of these religions has its own holy books, all of which are freely accessible and readily available within Israel.

What happened to Arabs who lived in Israel?
This question is ambiguous in terms of timing. During the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, a large number of Palestinians fled the new Israeli Army (which had not yet been properly organized). Some left because their villages were brutalized and there is ample evidence to support that this atrocity occurred. Others left out of fear that their villages might be next. Still others left because they were convinced by their Tribal Elders and Imams that they should vacate the war zone and when Israel was destroyed, they would be able to return. Whatever the reason, approximately 700,000 Arabs fled Israel and they remain refugees to this day because no country will grant them citizenship. (This is done so that the International Community will pity them and pressure Israel to take them back as opposed to giving them the opportunity to fully integrate.)
There were also Arab Tribes and Leaders who sympathized with the Jews and Israelis and considered themselves bound to the future of the State. The Leader of Abu Ghosh (a town 2/3 of the way between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem) gave shelter and protection to Israeli soldiers fighting in the valleys between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. After the War, Abu Ghosh was firmly in Israeli control and the Arab residents of Abu Ghosh (like all Arabs who did not leave during the War) were given full Israeli citizenship and rights. To this day, the Arab residents of Abu Ghosh (and numerous similar cities in the Galilee) are Israeli Citizens called Israeli Arabs.
What was daily life like of an ancient Hebrew living in Israel?
Hebrew society was based upon the covenant with God, as set forth in the Torah. There was always a learned class among the Israelites, and virtually all men and boys (and a good percentage of women) could read and write. A portion of each day was spent praying, and another, larger part of the day, was spent studying Torah (by a good part of the populace). Religious questions (and torts) were brought to one of the many Rabbis or Jewish courts. Having a large family was an ideal, as was welcoming guests into the home, giving charity, and other forms of kindness. A portion of crops were given to the poor. The calendar year was replete with the Sabbaths and festivals; and blessings were said before and after eating and on many other occasions.
In brief, there was no such thing as a secular part of life, since the Torah's laws cover every form of activity, including business.
