Introduction to Israeli culture:

1, diet:

Jews eat clean food. The only edible mammals are ruminants and cloven-hoofed animals. They can eat beef, but they are not allowed to eat pork and horse meat. Eat most poultry (such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc. ) is allowed, but some new species such as ostriches and emus are not allowed. The Bible specifically mentions fasting ostriches. Fish must have fins and scales, as well as fast mollusks and crustaceans.

2. Customs:

Israel, located at the junction of Asia, Europe and Africa, has experienced many waves of immigration. It is a combination of various cultures and religions, and its commercial culture is diverse. As a developed country, Israel is greatly influenced by European and American cultures. The people are generally warm, direct and open, like communication and pay attention to contracts. Most Israelis have religious beliefs, and according to different religions, they have strict requirements on diet and clothing.

Israelis usually dress casually, similar to western Europe and the United States. People pay attention to individuality and casual clothes, especially in summer, and seldom wear suits and ties. Living and working in Israel should respect local customs and religious beliefs. Generally, when meeting VIPs, some private company personnel and senior government officials for the first time, you should wear formal clothes to show your respect for the host, which can be determined according to the preferences of both parties in the future.
