Yisrael is a "Who" and a "What"
Yisrael is another name for the Patriarch Jacob (Yaakov), the father of the original 12 tribes of Israel (Yisrael). The descendants (Jews) are known as the Children of Israel, or in Hebrew B'nei Yisrael. The Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael in Hebrew) is called for Jacob and his descendants.
It's actually pronounced Yis-Rah-El
Felafel is a Mid East food. It is NOT specific to ANY country!

Yisrael does mean Israel in Hebrew. There are definitely some really yummy Israel foods that you can try though...some of the foods are from home, while much more is based on the influx of Jews from al over the world when Israel became a state...The Jews living in Arab countries, when kicked out to Israel brought an entire Mid Eastern cuisine. The same for the Jews that escaped persecution and the holocaust from the West, they brough a whole different palate...
