The topic of this culture post is that of attitudes of time in Israeli culture. I found this topic to be one of interest especially after having watched the "Culture Shock" video. I feel like in comparison to American expectations, Israeli attitudes towards time are more laid back and it is common for being timely to be taken less seriously.
Below this article dubs Israeli attitudes towards time as IST - Israeli Standard Time.

It is almost comforting to know that in some places in the world being on time isn't taken so seriously. I find that my family, which is Israeli, is very much in sync with this laid back view of timeliness.
