The Israeli persimmons are sold around here as Sharon Fruit.
 
Steve, the persimmon you had is a Fuyu which is a non-astringent kaki persimmon.  To many, these are best eaten when still firm with just a little give under pressure.  The Isreali growers call it something else which I forget, but it is just a marketing strategy.  It is the astringent varieties that need to be eaten mushy soft.
