Israel goes to the polls on 27 October, so in this episode I explain how elections for the Knesset actually work: parties instead of local candidates, the electoral threshold, coalitions, and what happens on election day. Along the way we learn all the Hebrew words you'll hear in the news this month, from mandatim to kalpi. This episode is completely impartial and we only talk about how the system works.Website: www.hebrew-with-steph.com
In this episode, we're talking about food culture in Israel, not recipes or specific dishes, but everything that happens around the food. We look at what makes food Israeli in the first place, what it's like to eat out there, and how food delivery became such a big part of everyday life in Israeli cities.
England is in the middle of its fifth heatwave of the summer, so when a listener sent me a report from Israel's Meteorological Service, I knew exactly what this episode had to be about. We talk about heatwaves, droughts and wildfires, how the weather shifts from snow in Tzfat to sunshine in Eilat, and what an unusually strong El Niño could mean for rain in Israel this winter.For transcripts and more, visit my website: www.hebrew-with-steph.com
A short bonus episode about the World Cup, or "ha-Mundial". In this episode of Yalla: Learning Hebrew with Steph, I explain where the Hebrew word comes from and why so many Israelis are cheering for Argentina this year.
Ever wonder how a language that wasn't spoken for 2,000 years became the daily language for 9 million people today? In this episode of Yalla: Learning Hebrew with Steph, we dive into the fascinating story of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the man who planted the seeds for the revival of Modern Hebrew.
