Although I do not know what specific jobs Buck and Tilly Buchanan are
referring to, I worked in Israel for 2 years before relocating back to
Dallas with the Israeli company. I now work with a predominantly Israeli
team.
I think it is fair to assume that the Buchanans meant to write Hebrew,
not Yiddish. Yiddish is only spoken by the elderly and small
ultra-orthodox groups. Hebrew is the official language of the country.
Although I did learn to speak Hebrew, my work was entirely in English
and there was no translation required.
If anyone has any questions about living and working as an American in
Israel, feel free to call or write and I'll try to help. I won't be able
to tell you much about the labor laws, but I will tell you about the
country, the people, and where to get great falafel and schwarma.
Bottom line...I loved living there and I recommend it highly.
