Before going on vacation to such a beautiful and amazing country as Israel, it is worth learning more about it. There are things that seem common and familiar to us, but which are prohibited there.
These are the things that cannot be done in Israel
Stand when green is lit
In our country, in the light of yellow light, a pedestrian prepares, and goes to green. In Israel, yellow cars are already starting to honk, and green cars may even start pushing you in the back so that you go. In some places, pedestrian crossing zones are illuminated from below. This is for those pedestrians who do not let go of their smartphones, and are constantly everywhere with their heads down.
Joke with security
They don't contradict the security service here. They asked to show the contents of the bag - show them, they said to go with them - go. Otherwise, you can expect trouble.
Drive a car on Atonement Day
The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur is sacred to the Israelites. On this day, you cannot ride a car, only scooters, rollerblades, bicycles. On this day, you can cross the road in the wrong place, from transport on the street only special services cars. And still you can't use smartphones on this day, and women can't put on makeup. Jews do not eat, smoke or drink all day long.
Refuse treats
In no case should you refuse if they want to feed you. Jews are very generous in this regard, they do not regret treats if they see a thin or hungry person in front of them.
Ride without clothes
Neither man nor woman can drive a car without T-shirts. If we compare with Russia, then all summer we have drivers in a half-naked form. But in Israel, a fine is threatened for this!
Be un-advanced
In Israel, you will hardly meet a single person with an old phone model. They try to find the newest and the best there. Unless you have the latest phone model, you don't pay your store bill with a card, and you don't wirelessly charge your laptop - you are definitely not advanced!
Give way to young girls in transport
No matter how gentleman you are, you cannot do that. So you violate the emancipation and equality of women.
Praise Nazism
If you plan to go to jail for at least two years, you can safely go out in Israel and shout: "Hi, Hitler."
Carry a weapon in your bag
Even a tiny knife cannot be carried with you. Anywhere, a guard or security service can check the contents of your bag, and if there is a weapon for which you do not have permission, then you will be taken to the police.
Leave children under 9 alone
Leaving children under 9 alone on the street or at home can lead to an unpleasant experience with social services. They just talk to tourists, but local residents can be registered.
Leaving a bag unattended in a public place
This applies to any carry - bag, backpack, etc. In 2-5 minutes, the police will be at the scene, and the object will be neutralized.
Offend children
You can't scold children loudly, offend them and use physical force against them. Children for Jews are not just flowers of life, but a real object of insanity and worship. Here, sitting in a restaurant, you will not be able to make a remark to a child running around the tables and screaming. The consequences can be dire. Tourists are deported, parents are on trial.
Making noise in quiet hours
In Russia, curfews are not set in all cities. In Israel, everything is perfect with this. It is forbidden to make noise at night, as well as from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. No songs, no loud TV and no repairs.
You cannot ride electric bicycles until the age of 16
And also you cannot ride without a helmet, on sidewalks and with a phone in hand. This will result in a forfeiture of the bike and a fine.
Criticize Israel
Especially out loud, and especially to tourists. If you come - praise or be silent, if you don't like it - get out home.
Smoking in public places
Many countries have such a law, but it is not always enforced. In Israel, this is very strict. You cannot smoke there at bus stops, in bars, in restaurants. And you can't drink alcohol on the street.
Flirt with girls on the street
"Hey beauty, let's get to know each other!" - is regarded here as harassment. A couple of minutes, and the police will want to meet you. Chatting with girls is allowed, but you need to be careful so that the lady does not feel your undue attention.
Hitchhiking
This is considered a dangerous vacation in Israel. Therefore, neither the locals drive like this, nor the drivers themselves never take fellow travelers who vote on the road.
Watch porn movies
Under no circumstances should you watch pornographic films on satellite or cable television in Israel. The term is cruel - up to three years.
You cannot feed animals in public places
It is illegal to feed animals in public places, there are inscriptions about this in zoos.
Each country has its own customs and laws, and if you are going to a foreign area, you need to respect its inhabitants and the state in which you intend to relax!
