Israeli families who bring a foreign caregiver home for an aging or disabled relative suddenly become an employer, with a stack of obligations nobody explains in one place: a permit, a licensed bureau, minimum wage, National Insurance, pension and severance, recuperation pay, and holidays the worker may take by their own religion. One wrong assumption, such as thinking a home employer deposits into the foreign-worker fund (it does not), can cost thousands. This skill lays out the legal process and turns the rules into one clear monthly-cost figure.

Everything a family with celiac in Israel needs, in the right order. The skill opens with the most expensive mistake, going gluten-free before the blood test and biopsy, which can mislead and obstruct diagnosis, and explains what is actually tested and when a repeat biopsy is required. After diagnosis it consolidates the entitlements almost nobody knows: what educational institutions must provide in every activity including trips, why portions must be packaged in a different colour with prominent marking, how to read Israeli food labels, the right to a suitable medication alternative when a health-basket drug is unsuitable, municipal welfare funding for therapeutic food, and the IDF track including profile 97 and the food stipend. It also covers the Passover trap, where kosher-for-Passover does not mean gluten-free, and adds a section on birthday parties and the packaged-snack shelf: which Israeli snacks and sweets work, the traps such as Bisli, regular beigele, Click and Kinder Joy, and why the marking on the pack is what decides. Use it when celiac is suspected, when arranging gan or school, when buying party snacks, or ahead of enlistment. Do NOT use for IgE food allergy or anaphylaxis, general meal planning, or clinical diagnosis.
A Hebrew-first personal-training coach that remembers your program and history across sessions. It onboards any split (PPL, upper-lower, full-body, or custom) into an editable profile, then works as five roles: a coach that gives the next workout in your rotation with a home-equipment variant, a logger that turns free Hebrew text into a structured training log, a nutrition framer that hands specifics to the Israeli nutrition skill, an analyst that trends your estimated 1RM, volume, run pace and RPE creep to catch plateaus and overtraining, and a controlled routine-breaker. Use it to know today's workout, log a session, check whether you are progressing or stuck, or keep a training log that carries context between sessions. Includes Israeli-summer heat and hydration rules and a disordered-eating guardrail. Plan and review at your computer (where the log lives), log what you did after training in plain words, and on a phone attach your log to keep going. It is a coach and logbook, not a between-sets gym tracker. Do NOT use for clinical rehab or injury prescription, medical dietary therapy, meal planning (use israeli-nutrition-planner), or as a substitute for a licensed trainer, physiotherapist, or dietitian.

Use when a patient or caregiver needs to understand entitlements, file applications, or appeal a refusal. Bureaucracy only, not a substitute for the hospital oncology social worker, oncologist, or lawyer. Do NOT use for medical diagnosis, treatment decisions, drug dosing, or non-Israeli healthcare systems.
