Is there Starbucks in Israel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. From 2001-2003 there were a few Starbucks in Israel, but these were withdrawn when Starbucks found the location was uncompetitive. Starbucks makes clear on their corporate site that both their entry and departure from the Israeli market has nothing to do with Israeli or Middle Eastern politics, but with corporate profitability.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, the boxjelly species Carybdea marsupialis is found in the Mediterranean. C. marsupialis is also found throughout most of the tropical Atlantic, and is also found in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California and western Mexico. Unlike more famous boxjellies, like those of the genera Malo or Chironex, Carybdea marsupialis does not have a dangerous sting. Its sting only results in mild pain and temporary discomfort.

What kinds of cuisine are popular in Israel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Israel has a very multifaceted cuisine,there is lots of influence ;from other countries. Where at one time, most people knew of blintzes and latkes,and dips. Israel has went in new directions with it's cuisine.Traditionally pork,rabbit and shellfish are forbidden.All dairy dishes are prepared separately,from meat dishes and desserts. Isreal-Mizrahi is similar to Asian cuisine: grilled meats, pastry(sweet and savory), rice and pita. Most desserts are of Turkish influence, like blancmange and baklava. Of course they love pita and unleaven breads. Labneh-which is a strained yogurt,and is used for dips and sauces .Shakshouka is becoming a popular dish in Israel, made with tomatoes, onion or garlic, spices and eggs. It is cooked over a low flame ,eggs are the last in. And usually is served with pita bread. Schnitzel is also be a up and coming dish there,as is gefilte fish. So Israel is taking the ethnic foods of other countries,and combining it with their own. In addition, all large cities have a wide variety of "imported" international cuisines -- Chinese, French, South American, and especially Italian, which uses many Mediterranean ingredients easily available in the area.

If you drink water from the Dead Sea will you die?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends how much you drink. Too much could kill you because of sodium overdose, but it shouldn't kill you normally.

===============================

Answer #2:

If that were true, then ships at sea wouldn't need to carry a lot of drinking water. They'd only need a little of it, to sweeten up the sea water all around them for drinking.

Fact is, sea water is a deadly drink over a relatively short period of time, and "sodium overdose" has nothing to do with it.

Your body chemistry is set up so that your cells absorb fresh water. A significant salt content in the water reverses this "osmotic" pressure, and the flow is in the opposite direction. Just as a salt rub draws moisture out of a chicken or a steak, salt water draws water OUT of your body's cells. The more sea water you drink, the MORE dehydrated you become, and you don't last long.

Where can you buy matzot in Israel online?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If - like me - you live in an area with few or no other Jews, kosher-for-Passover matzah can be quite difficult to find. Some supermarkets stock them if there's even a small local Jewish population, but if you have no shops specialising in kosher goods you may have to buy it through mail order.

Google "kosher pesach matzah" and you should find a choice of companies that offer it for sale online - hopefully one of them will be able to mail a packet to wherever you live. This should be no problem at all if you live in the USA, EU, near large cities in South America or Australia but might prove trickier in the Middle East (except Israel, obviously) or parts of Asia, Africa and rural South America.

Otherwise, you could make your own. In some areas, Jewish men form groups called chaburas who produce the special shmurah matzah ("guarded" - meaning production is closely supervised to ensure the flour has not been in contact with water for more than 18 minutes from start to finish, which would make it chametz - ie; prohibited during Passover - and therefore unsuitable for Passover use). However, it's a labour-intensive task and you'd need rabbinical supervision to be absolutely certain that your matzah were Passover kosher. Another way would be to make egg matzah, in which egg or fruit juice (not all egg matzah contain egg) in place of water, because although both eggs and fruit juice contain water they are not considered to make the matzah chametz. This would also be labour-intensive and you'd need to make sure you used only 100% fruit juice, not juice made from concentrate to which water has been added, as this will again make it chametz if the production process takes more than 18 minutes. To be absolutely certain your matzah are kosher, you would need rabbinical supervision once again, so it might be easiest if you just try to buy mail-order matzah online!

Where can you cash in your special 60th anniversary Israeli 20 shekel notes for the value they are now worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 2008 commemorative 20 Sheqalim note is worth $25 (US Dollars) in mint uncirculated condition to a collector of banknotes, via an on-line auction, for example or possibly to a banknote dealer (search the web for ones located near you).

If the note is in anything other than perfect condition, it is worth just its face value - about $5.00, which you could get at a bank/travel agent currency exchange.

How do you write Hebrew with vowels on a computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The modern Hebrew keyboard includes vowels, but since they're not commonly used, they're not easy to get to:

  1. press Alt and Caps Lock.
  2. Then hold down the Shift key and type a number from 1 to 0 while your blinking cursor is inserted between two Hebrew letters which you've typed.
