Today we’re going to the café in Israel to order our morning coffee and something to eat — in simple Hebrew.

We’ll learn how to order a coffee, ask for different kinds of milk, and choose something delicious to eat.

Yallah, let’s go to the café ☕🇮🇱

☕ Hebrew + English Translation

שלום ובוקר טוב.
Hello and good morning.

הבוקר קמתי מאוחר.
This morning I woke up late.

לכן, לא היה לי מספיק זמן כדי לאכול ארוחת בוקר כמו שצריך.
So, I didn’t have enough time to eat a proper breakfast.

אפילו לא שתיתי את הקפה של הבוקר.
I didn’t even drink my morning coffee.

אני חייב לעצור בבית קפה ולהזמין משהו בדרך לעבודה.
I have to stop at a café and order something on the way to work.

אז מה אני מזמינה?
So what am I ordering?

אני רוצה קפה הפוך גדול
I want a large café hafoukh.

עם הרבה חלב, ובלי סוכר.
With a lot of milk, and no sugar.

אני שותה חלב רגיל, לא חלב דל שומן ולא חלב שיבולת שועל.
I drink regular milk, not low-fat milk and not oat milk.

אני לא אוהבת סוכר בקפה.
I don’t like sugar in coffee.

אני שותה את הקפה שלי חם, לא רותח.
I drink my coffee hot, not boiling hot.

אולי כדאי גם לאכול משהו קטן עם הקפה?
Maybe I should also eat something small with the coffee?

יש כאן עוגיות קטנות וגם כריכים של בוקר.
There are small cookies here and also breakfast sandwiches.

אני אוהבת לאכול מלוח בבוקר.
I like eating savory food in the morning.

אז אני לוקחת כריך עם אבוקדו וקפה.
So I’m taking a sandwich with avocado and a coffee.

ובא לי גם מיץ תפוזים.
And I also feel like having orange juice.

הוא סחוט, וזה טעים מאוד.
It is freshly squeezed, and it’s very delicious.

המלצר שואל אותי אם אני אוכלת כאן.
The waiter asks me if I am eating here.

אבל אין לי זמן, אני לא רוצה לשבת, אני רוצה לקחת את הכל בטייק אוויי.
But I don’t have time, I don’t want to sit down, I want to take everything takeaway.

טוב, זה עלה לי ארבעים שקלים,
Well, it cost me forty shekels,

אבל לפחות יש לי ארוחת בוקר טובה, בריאה וטעימה! 🙂
But at least I have a good, healthy, and tasty breakfast! 🙂

Today I have children, adults, and also elderly patients.

כל אחד מגיע עם בעיה אחרת.
Each one comes with a different problem.

הבוקר קיבלתי מטופל מבוגר שהתלונן על כאבי גרון חזקים וחום גבוה.
This morning I saw an adult patient who complained of strong sore throat and high fever.

בדקתי אותו: הסתכלתי על הגרון שלו, הקשבתי לריאות שלו ומדדתי חום ולחץ דם.
I examined him: I looked at his throat, listened to his lungs, and measured temperature and blood pressure.

על פי הבדיקה חשבתי שיכול להיות שמדובר בזיהום.
Based on the examination, I thought it might be an infection.

נתתי לו הפניה לבדיקות דם ובדיקת שתן.
I gave him a referral for blood tests and a urine test.

בינתיים נתתי לו מרשם לאנטיביוטיקה.
In the meantime, I gave him a prescription for antibiotics.

הסברתי לו איך לקחת את התרופה וכמה ימים להמשיך טיפול.
I explained how to take the medication and for how many days to continue the treatment.

אמרתי לו לחזור אליי מחר או בעוד יומיים,
I told him to come back tomorrow or in two days,

כדי שנוכל לעבור יחד על תוצאות הבדיקות ולהחליט על המשך טיפול.
so that we can go over the test results together and decide on further treatment.

בהמשך היום קיבלתי גם ילד עם כאבי אוזניים,
Later in the day I also saw a child with ear pain,

ואישה מבוגרת שהתלוננה על כאבים בברך.
and an elderly woman who complained about knee pain.

כל יום במרפאה שונה,
Every day in the clinic is different,

וצריך להקשיב, לבדוק, ולהחליט על טיפול מתאים לכל מטופל.

Today we are going to learn 8 important questions to ask before signing a rental contract in Israel.

We will also see simple and realistic answers from a real estate agent, so you can understand how these conversations usually work.

🏠 Hebrew + English Translation

לפני שאני חותמת על חוזה שכירות בישראל, חשוב לשאול כמה שאלות כדי לוודא שאנחנו מבינים הכול.
Before I sign a rental contract in Israel, it is important to ask a few questions to make sure we understand everything.

אז הנה שמונה שאלות חשובות, והתשובות שבדרך כלל מקבלים.
So here are eight important questions, and the answers we usually get.

לכמה זמן החוזה? לשנה אחת או לשנתיים?
For how long is the contract? One year or two years?

👉 בדרך כלל זה לשנה, אבל לפעמים אפשר גם לשנתיים אם בעל הדירה מסכים.
👉 Usually it is for one year, but sometimes it can also be for two years if the landlord agrees.

האם אפשר להאריך את החוזה בסוף התקופה?
Can the contract be extended at the end of the period?

👉 כן, בדרך כלל יש אופציה להאריך, אם שני הצדדים מרוצים.
👉 Yes, usually there is an option to extend if both sides are satisfied.

מה שכר הדירה? והאם הוא יכול לעלות במהלך תקופת השכירות?
What is the rent? And can it increase during the rental period?

👉 זה המחיר הקבוע לחודש, והוא לא אמור לעלות במהלך תקופת השכירות.
👉 This is the fixed monthly price, and it should not increase during the rental period.

מה כלול בתשלום? האם זה כולל ארנונה, ועד בית או דמי ניהול?
What is included in the payment? Does it include municipal tax, building fees or management fees?

👉 ארנונה וועד בית בדרך כלל לא כלולים, משלמים אותם בנפרד.
👉 Municipal tax and building fees are usually not included; they are paid separately.

מי משלם על תיקונים בדירה, למשל מזגן או בעיות אינסטלציה?
Who pays for repairs in the apartment, for example air conditioning or plumbing problems?

👉 בדרך כלל, השוכר משלם על תיקונים קטנים ובעל הדירה משלם על תקונים יותר גדולים.
👉 Usually, the tenant pays for small repairs and the landlord pays for bigger repairs.

האם מותר לעשות שינויים בדירה, כמו לצבוע קירות?
Is it allowed to make changes in the apartment, like painting the walls?

👉 בדרך כלל אפשר, אבל כדאי לקבל את האישור של בעל הדירה.
👉 Usually it is allowed, but it is recommended to get the landlord’s approval.

מה קורה אם אני רוצה לצאת מהדירה לפני סוף החוזה?
What happens if I want to leave the apartment before the end of the contract?

👉 צריך למצוא שוכר חלופי או לשלם קנס לפי מה שכתוב בחוזה.
👉 You need to find a replacement tenant or pay a penalty according to the contract.

האם יש ערבות או צ’ק ביטחון, ומה קורה איתו בסוף החוזה?
Is there a guarantee or security check, and what happens to it at the end of the contract?

👉 כן, יש ערבות. אם הכול בסדר בדירה, מחזירים לכם את כל הכסף כשאתם יוצאים מהדירה.
👉 Yes, there is a guarantee. If everything is fine in the apartment, you get all your money back when you leave the apartment.

I am looking for a three-room apartment. A big one.

אני רוצה מרפסת, זה מאוד חשוב לי.
I want a balcony, it is very important to me.

אני צריך גם חניה כי יש לי רכב גדול וקשה מאוד לחנות בתל אביב.
I also need parking because I have a big car and it is very hard to park in Tel Aviv.

חשוב לי מאוד שיהיה ממ״ד בתוך הדירה.
It is very important to me that there is a reinforced security room (mamad) inside the apartment.

יש לי ילדים קטנים אז אני מעדיפה לא לצאת מהבית באמצע הלילה כדי לרוץ למקלט אם יש אפשרות כזאת.

I want an apartment close to the sea, with good and convenient public transportation.

אם יש גישה לרכבת קלה, זה הכי טוב.

I also want to know how much the municipal tax is. And are there management fees? Building committee fees?

כי זה בטח עוד כמה מאות שקלים בחודש שצריך לקחת בחשבון.
Because that is probably another few hundred shekels per month that need to be taken into account.

חשוב לי להבין את כל העלויות של הדירה, לא רק את שכר הדירה.
It is important for me to understand all the costs of the apartment, not only the rent.

בדירה עצמה חשוב לי שיהיה מזגן כמובן ומטבח מאובזר עם מקרר, תנור, כיריים, מדיח כלים.

אני רוצה חוזה שכירות לשנתיים.
I want a two-year rental contract.

אני לא רוצה כל שנה לעבור דירה.
I don’t want to move every year.

Tonight I want to go to a restaurant.

אני מחפשת מסעדה טובה בתל אביב.
I am looking for a good restaurant in Tel Aviv.

אני שואלת את החברים שלי: אתם מכירים מסעדה טובה בתל אביב?
I ask my friends: do you know a good restaurant in Tel Aviv?

אני רוצה לאכול אוכל ישראלי:
I want to eat Israeli food:

חומוס, טחינה, סלטים, שווארמה, אולי דגים.
Hummus, tahini, salads, shawarma, maybe fish.

אני מתקשרת למסעדה כדי להזמין שולחן.
I call the restaurant to book a table.

שלום, אני רוצה להזמין שולחן לשלושה אנשים, בבקשה.
Hello, I want to book a table for three people, please.

איזה כיף — יש מקום!
How nice — there is a table available!

כשאני מגיעה למסעדה, אני אומרת למארחת שיש לי הזמנה.
When I arrive at the restaurant, I tell the hostess that I have a reservation.

אנחנו הולכים לשבת בשולחן.
We go sit at the table.

היא שואלת אותנו אם אנחנו רוצים תפריט בעברית או באנגלית.
She asks us if we want a menu in Hebrew or in English.

אני אומרת: אני רוצה תפריט בעברית, כי זה תרגול טוב בשבילי!
I say: I want a menu in Hebrew, because it is good practice for me!

אנחנו יושבים ומסתכלים על התפריט. יש הרבה דברים טעימים.
We sit and look at the menu. There are many tasty things.

ויש לי שאלות, אז אני שואלת את המלצר:
And I have questions, so I ask the waiter:

מה התוספת עם הדג? אורז או תפוח אדמה?
What is the side dish with the fish? Rice or potato?

אפשר סלט ישראלי בלי בצל?
Can I have an Israeli salad without onion?

השניצל מגיע עם צ’יפס או שצריך להזמין בנפרד?
Does the schnitzel come with fries or do you need to order it separately?

אנחנו מזמינים פרגיות, סלט קצוץ, חומוס, טחינה, ודג סלמון.
We order chicken thighs, chopped salad, hummus, tahini, and salmon fish.

הכול טעים מאוד. חבל על הזמן!
Everything is very tasty. Amazing!

אחרי הארוחה, אנחנו מבקשים חשבון:
After the meal, we ask for the bill:

אפשר חשבון, בבקשה?
Can we have the bill, please?

אנחנו בודקים שאין טעות בחשבון.
We check that there is no mistake in the bill.

אנחנו משלמים בכרטיס אשראי ונותנים טיפ למלצר, כמובן.
We pay by credit card and of course we leave a tip for the waiter.

לפני שאנחנו הולכים, אנחנו אומרים תודה למלצר.
Before we leave, we thank the waiter.

איזה כיף היה במסעדה! 🍽️
It was so nice at the restaurant!
