| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Yaara: If you’re in Israel and get lost in an unfamiliar environment, don't hesitate to ask for directions. Israelis are very friendly and love to help, especially when it gives them an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of a subject. Don't be surprised if, at the end of the conversation, you find yourself invited to a family dinner! |
