    Hi Ann, Hope this will answer your great question. I'm Jewish and live in Canada. Jewish food would be things that you would find in a Jewish type deli or restaurant such as bagels and lox, knishes, kamishbroit cookies or many other things. I've never heard the term 'Hebrew food' so can't answer to that. However, some Jewish people keep kosher. This means they don't mix milk and meat/chicken dishes. So for instance you wouldn't put butter on your baked potato if your were eating turkey, chicken or meat. Also you would wait 6 hours after eating meat/poultry before eating say ice cream or having cream in coffee. There are non-dairy cream or type of milk that you could use that would be ok after eating meat or poultry. Fish is not in this category so you could have butter with fish. hope this clears up the confusion.

    Hi Jennifer, I lived in Israel for two years. The 'net is extremely popular in Israel but not for shopping. It's extremely expensive with the shekel (Israeli currency) to buy things especially in US funds and customs charges a lot of duty on items brought in. I ordered some books from amazon.com and ended up paying duty that was almost the same as the cost of the books!
