Day-to-day Living in Israel
Utilities
Housing in Israel depends solely on electricity, which is provided by the state-owned Israel Electric Corporation. Israel's only natural energy resource is sunlight, so it's not surprising that it is a pioneer in the use of solar energy. Roughly 90% of Israeli water heaters are solar powered. Water supply is unfortunately - and unsurprisingly - scarce. The Water Authority oversees the supply. Prices vary from region-to-region, but expect them to be double, if not higher, that of the UK.
Transport
Public transport in Israel is very contemporary and reliable. The rail and bus networks span most areas of the country. However, you may need to travel to remote rural areas by car or taxi, as public transport is less frequent in those parts of the country. Prices are very reasonable; cheaper than the UK.
Costs
When compared to the UK, the cost of living in Israel is very cheap indeed. You can eat out on anything between 20 and 150 shekels, depending whether you favour fast food or fine dining.
Cuisine
Israeli cuisine is very diverse, a homogenous blend of European and Arab influence. Remember, Israel has only been around for the past sixty years, and so many of its citizens have brought influences from the world over.
Sociality
Although a socially affable and altruistic country, Israel has almost ceaselessly been embroiled in regional hostilities since its inception in 1948. There is a long history between the Israelis and the Arabs, Judaism and Islam, and this is more prevalent today than it has ever been. Terrorist attacks are not infrequent, and the drums of war with Iran have been getting louder and louder.
Although this doesn't currently affect day-to-day living as such, it does hold the potential to get worse. Or hopefully better.
Saturday is Shabbos or Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. This is the Jewish equivalent of a Sunday. However, you may find some orthodox Jews adhere far more vehemently to protocol, and therefore may not even drive or pick up a telephone. Any form of work on these days is forbidden.
