Subtitled version

Trivia

• The television special "Atlantis SquarePantis" was skipped, and didn't air in Israel in any form.
• The episodes "New Digs" and "Krabs à la Mode" from the fifth season of the series were never dubbed to Hebrew until 2015, during the time when the series was dubbed by Ullman Media. The episodes were released exclusively on Hot's VOD service in Israel.
• This dub finished its run of the tenth season of the show 41 days before the United States would, and on Nick.co.il, the twelfth season 651 days before the United States would.
• In the episodes "Safe Deposit Krabs" and "Plankton's Pet," there was no text on the title cards. This is likely an error.
• The images in the intro for this language differ from the images used in the normal intro.
• There were two special events in Israel: Best Day Ever (event) and Sponge Master.
  • During the Sponge Master event, a teaser for Gold Sponge Master was shown for the episodes "House Worming" and "Code Yellow."
• "Christmas Who?" and "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?" use the regular intro. However, "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" still uses Painty with the wreath.
• "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" does not use an intro.
• In a sketch from Medinat HaGamadim (the Israeli version of Newzoids), Ido Mosseri, who was in the voice cast, paid tribute to his work on SpongeBob SquarePants when he voiced a starfish in SpongeBob's voice, and even used his laugh at the end.
• Almost all of the Patchy the Pirate segments in "Truth or Square" were cut in the Hebrew version.
• The series first premiered in Israel on July 1, 2003, the day Nickelodeon Israel was launched.
• For around 5 years there has been a night-marathon in English with subtitles in Nickelodeon Israel. However, for a couple of years, they changed it for the summer vacation to other animated shows such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Wander Over Yonder but brought the show back after complaints from fans. In the middle of April 2018, the marathon stopped again until July 1, 2018. Many fans complained to the channel, and even tried to protest against their offices in Tel Aviv. Eventually, the marathon was moved to TeenNick, while Nickelodeon started broadcasting dubbed episodes instead.
• Even though Squidward is known as "Squidweed" in most of the Hebrew dub, in earlier episodes in the Hebrew dub he was simply known as "Squid," "Mr. Squid," or "Squidward" in some episodes. The reason for this change is unknown.
• This dub had multiple dubbing studios working on it.
• Most of the names are left in English, or just changed to sound like how they do in Hebrew.
• It is unknown whether the Nick Israel VOD page for SpongeBob SquarePants will have the rest of season 13 added. It is likely there will be more episodes of season 13 added onto the VOD in 2023.
• On the Nick Israel channel, the episodes are in 576p.
• Since 2020, Tomer Shavit has decided not to dub words that are written on things in English into Hebrew and not to dub the voices of the characters laughing and shouting and therefore some of the lines were not dubbed either.
