Yes, and very protein-full.

Are a lot of foods I can find there? 
I think so. Israelis eat lots of vegetables, dairy products, eggs.

Quite a lot of people are vegetarian and I don't think you'll have a 
problem finding enough food.

Can I ask the person I'm buying it from?  Do

You'll probably find it easier to get along with English in Israel 
than in France (from experienc!).

Where I study (Hebrew University) all dining halls have vegetarian 
dishes. I should think it's the same in other places.


You also have quite a wide variey of frozen vegetarian food (ask 
for "Tiv'ol") in all supermarkets. I really don't think you should 
have any trouble here (regarding food, that is - beware of the 
drivers! Israeli drivers have to be the worst in the world. If any 
nation was worse, they would all be dead by now.)
