| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Yaara: In some places in Israel, especially markets and taxis, it’s common to bargain on prices. It’s also a good way to practice counting shekels! |
| For example, if you’re buying two items, each for 30 shekels, you can bargain to get the price down to 50 shekels for both of them. Don’t hesitate to bargain! It shows you’re familiar with the local culture. |
