| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Yaara: In formal situations, Israeli people commonly greet each other by shaking hands. On the other hand, if we meet someone we’re very friendly with, we kiss each other on one cheek. Don’t be afraid to do it with your Israeli friends—it’s normal! |
