 The roots of the culture of Israel developed
long before modern Israel's independence in
1948 and traces back to ancient Israel.
 Israel is the birthplace of the
Jewish culture and its culture encompasses
the foundations of many
Jewish cultural characteristics, including
philosophy, literature, poetry, art, mythology,
folklore, mysticism and festivals; as well as
Judaism, which was also fundamental to the
creation of Christianity and Islam.
 Three of the most commonly spoken
languages in Israel are Hebrew, Arabic and
English. Hebrew is the official language of
Israel, while Arabic is widely used by the Arab
minority. English is the most commonly used
foreign language in the country.
 Israel’s culture is deeply rooted in the Jewish
religion. In Israel, there are many Jewish
immigrants from several different countries.
As a result, Israel has a dynamic, creative and
diverse culture. The holidays and festivals are
all based on the Hebrew calendar.
 The majority of Israeli people practice
Judaism, which accounts for 74.8% of the
Israeli population. Islam is the second most
prevalent religion at 17.6%. Christianity,
Druze and other religions comprise 8.4% of
the population.
 There are three important Jewish holidays in Israel: The Feast of
Pesach (Passover), the Feast of Shavu’ot (Weeks) and the Feast of
Sukkot (Tabernacles). These three festivals have historical and
agricultural significance.
 The Feast of Pesach. Pesach means to “pass through” or “pass
over” in English. Passover is a celebration of God liberating Jews
from slavery in ancient Egypt. The holiday begins on the 15th
day of the Jewish month of Nissan.
 The Feast of Shavu’ot. This holiday falls on the 50th day after the
Feast of Pesach. There are 49 days or seven full weeks before the
holiday starts, which is why people call the holiday “The Feast of
Weeks.” It is when the first batch of wheat is harvested and
offered to God. Work is not permitted on this day.
 The Feast of Sukkot. This is when people gather to celebrate the
harvest festival and to remember the period of wandering when
they had to live in temporary dwellings. Sukkot means “booths”
in Hebrew.
 Israeli cuisine usually follows kosher
protocols, due to the Jewish culture and
religion. As a result, pork, shellfish, eggs and
milk are prohibited. It is also prohibited to
prepare or cook meats, dairy products and
eggs in the same pot or container. Hummus,
tahini, shawarma, pita bread, kebabs and
falafel are some of the most commonly
enjoyed foods in Israel.
 Shalom
Literally means “peace” and if you learn one word to
use in Israel, make it this one. Used for hellos and
goodbyes, and plenty of other uses in between.

Sababa
Alright, this is your basic “cool”, “great”, “alright”. A
word to use whenever you really feel like. I essentially
see its’ use as similar to awesome in USA English.
Want to go to the beach? Sababa. Want to ride
bikes? Sababa. Want to make out on the roof? Sababa.
 Beseder
When awesome is too much, but you don’t want to
turn down that make-out session. This is a more
neutral word for “let’s do this. Okay, everything’s in
order.
 Chen & Lo
Yes & no. Tip: Chen is pronounced “ken.” Just imagine
you’re saying yes to Ken.
 Ma nishmá
What’s up? Friendly way of asking friends “do you
want to go to the beach and have a good time,
maybe buy some cheap beers and make up funny
stories about the tourists on the beach?” Also
related: Ma koreh (what’s happening?)
 Ech holech
How’s it going? Just another way of saying the
same-ol’, same-ol’.
 Toda (also Toda Raba)
Thanks and “Thanks a lot!” This is a fun word to
say because it sounds like you’re a 5-year-old
who’s just finished a dance recital. Ta-da!
 Be te’avon
If you like to eat, you’ll learn this one quick. It’s
Hebrew for Bon Apetit!
 L’chaim
The toast/cheers when you clink beer glasses, it
translates “to life!”
 Bevakasha
Spend enough time around Israelis and you
might quickly discover an innate sense of
brusqueness. But that doesn’t mean they avoid
basic manners. Bevakasha is the Hebrew word
for please.
 Slicha
Lest you forget you’re in the Middle East,
learn slicha early in your trip. It’s Hebrew
for excuse me or sorry! You’ll use it when cutting
in front of people in queues, when brushing past
them on the crowded Tel Aviv boulevards, and
when climbing over other passengers in the Israel
public transport.
 Tov
When something goes well, say tov — it’s Hebrew for
“good” and has plenty of uses in everyday
conversations.
 Boker tov — Good morning
 Laila tov — Good evening
 Mazel tov — Good fortune (literally) but you’ll know it
as a congratulatory phrase from pop culture
 Lehitra’ot
See you / bye. As in adios, amigo!
 Nachon
Like the Hebrew word tov, nachon has plenty of uses.
It could translate as “right” or “correct”, but in a
friendly, casual way, usually in reply to a new friend’s
ridiculous suggestion. Person A: Let’s get some hash
and go to a rave in the desert! Person B: Nachon.
