Professional Doctorate

Hi There
I am a social worker and just finished my MA in social work at the University of East London (already confirmed that this institute is accepted by the higher education in Israel). I would like to continue in the same university to do my Professional Doctorate in Social Work. I really really need to know if this is accepted in Israel as this is slightly different from a PhD. I will still have the title of Dr before my name after completion but it is not a PhD as it is slightly shorter (40,000-60,000 words) instead of the PhD which is normally 60,000-1000,000 words and in the Prof Doc we also have some seminars we have to attend (which you dont normally have in PhD's). can anyone please please help me to find out whether this is applicable for Israel as I am planing to come back to Israel after my Doc and hopefully practice both as a social worker and a lecturer in a university somehwere in our lovely country... thank you!!!!!
