This looks delicious! One thing though, would you clarify what an “Israeli pickle” is? Thank you!

Hi Kellie. The most popular brand of Israeli pickle is the Beit HaShita brand from Osem. If you can find a local supermarket that carries Osem products, you should be able to find these pickles or perhaps ask the store to order some from the distributor of the Osem products. If you can’t find any pickles from Israel, you can substitute your favorite brand of kosher dill pickles.
