Public transit in Israel spans buses, trains, and light rail from multiple operators, with no single source showing all options. Finding a route that combines different transit types, checking real-time updates, or planning a trip with tight time windows becomes a frustrating task.

Author: skills-ilRuns a structured check on whether an image or video is AI-generated, digitally manipulated, or authentic-but-miscaptioned, and produces a sourced verdict with a confidence level. Use when someone forwards a dramatic war or news photo or clip on WhatsApp or Telegram and you want to know if it is real, when a journalist or community moderator needs a verification report before sharing, or when a suspicious image or voice claims to be a known person. Combines signed provenance (C2PA, SynthID, EXIF), a visual inspection against an artifact checklist, and source tracing (reverse-image search, geolocation). It is a verifier, not a magic detector, and it says can't-verify honestly. Do NOT use for numeric claim fact-checking (use israeli-fact-checker), for generating deepfakes, or as legal forensic certification.
Author: skills-ilTies together, in one place, every financial entitlement a death triggers in Israel. Checks who counts as a she'er, estimates the monthly Bituach Leumi survivor's allowance from the current rate table (by age, number of children, and seniority increment), and also flags the work-related-death dependents' allowance track, the death grant, the pension-fund survivor's pension, and provident-fund and life-insurance payouts. Use when a close relative has died and the family needs to know what it is owed and which form to file with each institution, because almost no payment arrives automatically and each must be actively claimed. Do NOT use for burial logistics or asset transfer, for writing a will or a succession order, or for general non-death Bituach Leumi questions, and always recommend a pension advisor or lawyer for complex cases.
Author: skills-ilComprehensive guide for Israelis in relocation abroad covering before, during, and after the move. Handles the Israeli side of the move: tax residency tests (Form 1348), Bituach Leumi and kupat cholim while living abroad, pension fund and keren hishtalmut handling, 10% landlord tax track for apartment rental, apostille at the Foreign Ministry, and toshav chozer / toshav chozer vatik benefits under Section 14. Use when the user asks about Israeli relocation (רילוקיישן), leaving Israel for work, dmei vitoor, kupat cholim redemption, Tofes 161 on exit, vehicle import on return, or re-establishing residency. Prevents expensive mistakes like double payment, losing kupat cholim continuity on return, or missing tax benefits. Do NOT use for aliyah to Israel (use israeli-aliyah-navigator), tourist visas, binding tax advice, or destination-country immigration questions.
