If you're a Westerner, you won't have a difficult time at all blending into Israel. Aside from the practice of bargaining for prices at shuqs (bazaars,) cultural expectations in Israel are more or less the same as in any Western nation. Of course, these practices may not apply to Arab and religious Jewish populations in Israel.
