Before deciding whether to install, talk to the skill

Comprehensive guide to navigating elder care in Israel. Helps families with Bituach Leumi long-term care benefits (gimlat siud), private nursing care insurance (bituach siudi) through kupot cholim, old-age pension (kiztavat zikna), nursing homes (beit avot) and assisted living (diur mugan), home care, enduring power of attorney (yipuy koach mitmashech), and guardian appointment (apotropus). Use when caring for an aging parent, comparing care options, checking benefit eligibility, or planning advance directives. Prevents crisis-driven decisions by consolidating all elder care information. Do NOT use for general Bituach Leumi benefits, private pension funds, or HMO/health insurance questions.

The Problem

Adult children in Israel often face elder care decisions suddenly, with no preparation and no single source of truth. The system is split between Bituach Leumi, the Health Ministry, kupot cholim, and the courts. Most families don't know the difference between gimlat siud (government benefit) and bituach siudi (private insurance), or that you can't buy siudi after age 65.

v1.1.0New

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.
