Immersing Ourselves in Israel

So we decided we had been here almost a week and hadn't really immersed ourselves in Israeli culture. We began to rack our brains thinking of the most Israeli thing we can do to show ourselves we are really here for a year. After much thought and deliberation, we figured it out - go to a baseball game. You read correctly, we went to one of the last regular season matches of the Israeli Baseball League featuring the Petach Tikva Pioneers (or as their shirts say Pionerim) versus the Modi'in Miracles. It was an exciting 6 inning game - they are supposed to have 7, but apparently the field doesn't have enough lighting in the outfield so they had to stop after 6 since it was getting too dark. Though the majority of the audience was at least american implants, if not still US citizens, there were some Israeli represented. However, in all aspects that was the minority, as the league clearly seems to be geared towards Americans. The scoreboard was in English, majority of the announcements were in English and we even sang "take me out to the ballgame" during the 5th inning stretch. Overall, it was a fun filled evening, though we will need to keep racking our brains for the real immersion opportunities.
