Israel | May 2022

Israel:

Weather:

Mid 70's, clear blue sky.

Transportation:

Bus, Light Rail, Taxi, Car, Hitches

Be careful with the taxi companies. Don't hail one off the street. We used Bar Ilan, Ramot, and other Jewish companies.

Kosher Food:

Kashrus is complicated in Israel, certifications are always changing.  Check with a competant LOR.

Mister Chips  - On Yaffo. Nothing beats Chips with Sweet Chili sauce.

Hello Teiman - By the Gas Station at Knisah L'Ir. Delicious schwarma.

Big Apple Pizza - On Paran. Such good pizza. 

Katzefet - On Paran. Best smoothies ever.

Cafe Rimon - At Mamilla. Shoutout to our waitress, Sharon! Everything was amazing. 5 stars. (Dairy)

Zalman's - By Shaarei Revacha. Fast food, kinda feels like McDonalds with the red and yellow branding. So good though!

Cofix - The best iced coffee in Israel.

Hadar Geulah - On Malchei Yisroel. The place to be for a Thursday night chill with Cholent, Kugel, and Coke.

Burger Bite - Shefa area. We ate their leftover chips and chicken nuggets. Love hanging out in Shefa when stores close;)

Attractions:

Kosel - Stop number one. Always.

Kever Rochel - There's something so connecting about Kever Rochel. All types and stripes come for the same reason - to talk to their mother.

The Bridge - Yerushalayim. Love walking across the Gesher when it's all lit up at night. 

ATVing - We did it in the Ramot forest. Was so fun , heads up you will get filthy!

Teveria - Went to the famous Kevarim

Amuka - They say people go three times to Amuka. When they're single - to daven. When they're engaged - to thank. When they're married - to complain;)

Shooting Range - Ayelet HaSchachar. Random Moshav. Had a great time shooting mini-Uzi's.

Candle Factory - Tzfas. Who knew a factory could be so cool? The Chasidish vs. Litvish chessboard took the cake.

Arizal's Shul - Tzfas. Love watching the Birthright groups sing Lecha Dodi on a random Wednesday;)

Shmittah Farm - Need to come the right year for this one, obviously;)

Camelback Riding - Eretz Bereishit We took the 215 from Yerushalayim and the driver drove us straight up to the camels. According to the staff, that was a first.

Yam HaMelach - We went to the separate beach. The salt is painful, not gonna lie.

Shuk - Best to go on a Friday afternoon when it's all crowded. Stock up on candy and nuts.
