Dragon Ball Kai has begun airing in Israel

[Dragon Ball Ireland]

Not only that but a Hebrew dub has started airing, marking the first time Kai has been released in that language.

It started yesterday on a channel called Junior (which also airs Super) and based on these schedules it's airing around 4:15pm every day till Wednesday (the first 4 episodes will be rerun twice Thursday-Saturday, once around 11:45am-2pm and again from 4:28pm-6:30pm) with reruns till Friday around 1:10am and 12:25pm today and tomorrow.

Interesting, thanks for the update!

Goku's voice is the same as before.

No problem, I just spoke to someone who watched the first episode. Apparently it keeps the original Japanese version of Dragon Soul and the eyecatches (which is usually removed because in Israel they don't have ads between shows). The scene with Roshi being a pervert was supposedly cut.

I hear Piccolo has the same voice actor too, Raditz is different but sounds close enough to Liron Baranes. I've also been told Bulma, Chi-Chi, Kuririn/Krillin, Gohan and Roshi have been recast too.

It's great Junior is giving it so many timeslots, so fans will have a few chances to get several recordings.

• Today - 1:18am, 12:30pm, 4:21pm and 6:39pm
• Wednesday - 1:12am, 4:49am, 12:25pm, 4:15pm and 6:32pm
• Thursday - 1:14am, 4:24am, 12:32pm, 12:55pm, 1:17pm, 1:37pm, 5:02pm, 5:24pm, 5:46pm and 6:09pm
• Friday - 1:26am, 1:48am, 2:11am, 2:33am, 11:50am, 12:12pm, 12:35pm, 12:57pm, 4:36pm, 4:58pm, 5:21pm and 5:43pm
• Saturday - 11:45am, 12:07pm, 12:30pm, 12:52pm, 4:28pm, 4:50pm, 5:13pm, 5:35pm, 10:59pm and 11:21pm

Seemingly they're airing the first 4 episodes this week.

Kinda strange were getting dubs of older content more often than Daima (which only has the English, Indian, Latin American and (illegitimate) Persian dubs so far). In just the last year there's been:

• European Spanish dub of Kai
• New Indian dubs of original Dragon Ball
• Indian dubs of the Dragon Ball Z TV specials
• Indian dubs of Battle of Gods
• Danish dub of Super
• Continuation of Super's Urdu dub
• Greek dub of Super Hero (though you could argue that is a recent enough installment)
• Now the Hebrew dub of Kai

Interesting.

Is the Hebrew dub of Kai done by the same company that did the Hebrew dubs of DBZ and GT, which is Videofilm International, Ltd. (וידאופילם אינטרנשיונל בע''מ)?

That's a good question. I'm not sure, but according to Videofilm's website they also dubbed Dragon Ball Super, so I guess its possible if they held on to the license all these years.

Don't forget there are also upcoming Catalan dub and Basque dub of Dragon Ball Super. Both are currently in production and expected to air respectively in TV3 and ETB during this year.

From what I understand is that Ami Mandleman, the original Hebrew VA of Vegeta came back and not the guy who replaced him for the last part of Super.

Did you find any clip with Vegeta?

By the looks of this week's schedules episode 8 will be the latest new episode, so it seems Junior TV will be airing 4 new episodes a week.
