Last night, we watched a program that we had seen many promos for but had never previously watched. The program is called הישרדות Hisardut, which literally means "survival" but which is obviously the Israeli version of "Survivor". Now, of course, there's plenty of "eye candy" on the show, as I'm sure there was/is on the original American version, although I never watched that.
Naturally, this show, being Israeli, is entirely in Hebrew. I caught some of it, but mostly I really didn't understand what they were saying. The part I got the best by far, though, was something that I'm quite sure never happened in the American version: lighting Shabbat candles and a Shabbat Kiddush, complete with the appropriate blessings from a siddur! Now, mind you, I'm pretty sure NONE of these good-looking young people were religious. I didn't see a single kippah on any of them, but clearly these traditions have survived even among the חילוני khiloni ("secular, non-religious") people in this country.
