I think I'll stick with calling them Dr. and Prof., until they'll tell me otherwise.
Still getting used to the idea of working there, btw.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I don't know about Israeli educational culture, but at my university, there are some people who are very particular about being called Dr. so-and-so and some people don't care (often age related, I've noticed).
Age-related in which way? I've noticed that the professors who are in their thirties tend to want to be called Dr., as a way of enforcing "You will respect me, even though I'm maybe just six years older than you" from the undergrads, which the people in their fifties or so tend to be more of the "I'm a cool guy, I don't want to be an authority figure (I'm not going to be The Man!), call me by my first name), and the people older than their mid-sixties just seem puzzled as to why anybody would call a professor anything other than Dr.
