The SIM is free, but you have to buy a service package. I looked up on Orange site, they charge 119 shekels for a 10GB package for private people (99 for businesses), and 4 shekels/1MB for prepaid plans.
$1 = 3.75 shekels, and there's a VAT charge of 16% on top of the price.
In addition to Orange, there are two other major providers - Cellcom and Pelephone. All or some of them usually have points of sale in any mall. The prices vary between the providers, but are more or less comparable.
