Hebrew is mainly spoken in Israel, where one culture is hard to define. The culture of Israel is a mixture of all the cultures brought by the immigrants throughout the years. However, some general assumptions can be made.
Israel is more monochronic and collectivist. Several studies found that the Jewish Israelis are far more monochronic and less collectivist than their Arab Israeli peers.
Hands can speak in Israel!
1-Hand out in a pinched formation: means wait a second.
2-Two hands in pinched mode-talking about something very specific.
3-Twisting hand to the side of the head: Means you are stupid or crazy.
4-Shaking the head and saying "why, why, why": means what I just did was incredible, no?
