As far as I know, there's no difference in this matter between Israel and elsewhere.
When a girl is born, there is a naming ceremony. The girl is given a name during the synagogue services within a few days after her birth. Optionally, the family may also host a kiddush (celebration-meal) on the Sabbath after her birth, at the conclusion of the prayer services.
When a boy is born, he is circumcised when he's eight days old (health permitting), by a mohel (a person with the necessary medical training and who is ordained for this purpose). The boy is given a name at the time of the circumcision.
Circumcision (see Genesis ch.17) is one of those things that almost all Jews, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, keep in common. The only difference may be that some non-Orthodox families might prefer a doctor instead of a mohel, and a secular event that doesn't include the accompanying blessings.
