Hi- I lived in Israel from 1984 to 2006. When I returned to the USA , I wrote a memoir in a novel style about what I have learned in living in Israel. What came out was a non fiction novel similar in fashion to the books Under The Tuscan Sun, for the acclimation to a Mediterranean country ( I consider Israel an Eastern Mediterranean country more than a Middle East country) Eat, Pray, Love for the insights, and the Hobbit for the pure adventure and learning to deal with new challenges .
The book Leaving Home , Going Home , Returning Home : A Hebrew American's Sojourn in the Land of Israel received great reviews and is with Amazon.com , Kindle , and Create Space.
I have a Blog and Facebook page with that name where i lend my commentary on Israel and the USA compared from time to time. My webpage for book trailers is www.jasonalster.com and for other publication I released both in Israel and the USA.

Yes, like in every other country there are some mosquitoes in Israel but there is no huge threat like in equatorial countries. There are plenty of anti-histamine medications, ointments and calamine lotions that you can purchase over the counter or with a prescription from your family physician. While there are some isolated cases of malaria the majority of them can be traced back to travels in an exotic destination. Unless there is a particular product you prefer or you are sure it is not available here, I personally would not bring this type of thing. If you have a particuar and chronic condition then bring sufficient prescription medication for 3 months just in case.
