Thank G-d, I'm having an all-around great time in Israel.
I'm even adapting well to the paucity of Diet Dr. Pepper in this country; I've taken up drinking Diet Coke by the liter instead. It's not the same, but it will suffice.
The one thing, however, that I've been trying to find here that I just can't seem to locate is American-style cream cheese. You know, the normal stuff you put on a lightly toasted whole wheat poppy seed bagel. Yeah, that stuff. Strangely, this country sells many, many varieties of cheese, but not regular, old-fashioned cream cheese. Israeli cheese even comes with the exact percentage of fat contained within printed on the package. Talk about full disclosure. But for an industry that has shomen-content down to the percentage, the Israeli dairy industry does not seem to produce cream cheese. So I was pleasantly surprised today when I opened up the fridge and found a package of Philadelphia cream cheese, tied in silver ribbon, laying on my shelf.
I have really sweet dira-mates. Thanks guys.

That is really sweet. Don't you love friends like that? :)
Have a great year! Shana tova!
Wow, that is amazing. Shana tovah!
P.S. I think it is find-able, but difficult. Try Mister Zol. I know I've seen it somewhere, but I forget where. Wherever it is, it comes at some outrageous price. Welcome to import inflation.
Hey DDP,
Hope you had a great Rosh Hashana in Eretz Hakidosha! I found Philadelphia Cream Cheese at "Mega" Supermarket in Malcha mall. I looked high and low for it too and they had it, but not all the time. I did find a Tnuva brand cream cheese finally at the end of the year that tastes pretty good. It comes in one of those standard cheese containers that white/cottage/any cheese comes in. The label has a little bit of gold and green in it I think. It's Tnuva Mehadrin Hashgacha. They may have sold it with chives or olives too. I stick with good ol' plain. (you could also just ask your dira mates where they got the cream cheese, which works too!)
Gmar Chasima Tova!

Haha, rebecca's roomie. do I know you? :-)
DDP, my roomie's got it. I knew I saw it somewhere!
Yup, I remember that before Shavuos, all the Israelis were hanging sour cream in (clean) gym socks to turn it into cream cheese. It worked, but I was baffled; why can't they just have normal cream cheese?

Sorry I haven't read in so long.
Hehe. I remember wondering why they had no cream cheese. Neve served some sort of weird alternative, if I recall correctly.
That's really nice of your apartment-mates. Where'd they end up finding it?

The issue іs something which too fеw folks аrе speaking intelligently аbout.
I'm very happy I found this in my hunt for something concerning this.
