The only way you can read the actual messages is on the phone. When you go to your account in My Verizon, you will only see phone numbers and dates/times. You may be able to set up parental controls to turn off messaging at certain times, but I'm not certain.
Israelis eat a lot of felafel and hummus, pita, baba ghanoush, taboule, etc. Israeli salads are also quite popular. Since Israel has a huge emigrant population from Eastern Europe, there are a number of Eastern European dishes, like chicken shnitzel that are also relatively common.
Most Israeli Jews are Sephardim; so many products produced in Israel for Passover contain kitniot and are therefore not kosher for Passover for Ashkenazim. Some of the problematic ingredients include lecithin, corn syrup, cornstarch, rice, peanuts, soybean and canola oil.
