Deals/Deal Requests / Chossen Shas

« on: May 17, 2020, 10:46:04 PM »

Any suggestions on where I can get a good deal on a Shas for my future SIL? In the past I bought Oiz VeHadar.

NY or Lakewood area.

Thanks

Flying TLV-MAD-JFK, do I pass through security in Madrid?

I want to buy duty-free in TLV and don't want to take the chance that they won't allow liquids.

Thanks

Does anyone know who actually runs the services within the hotel?  Is there a Rabbi that works for WAJ taking care of the minyanim, I guess acting like a Gabbai at a regular shul?  Some of you guys seem to know management and the inner-workings of the hotel really well and I was just curious as to how it worked.

The hotel has someone that runs it. Gabbai, bal koreh, etc....

The shul is floor -2 (two floors below ground floor) steps to the left when you come in main entrance

At the bottom walk straight ahead through the double doors. The shul is the 3rd (I think) room.

Last few times I stayed at ruth rimonim it was really getting worse and worse. Rooms were in really bad condition

Did Dan renovate when they took it over?

Is Kever Rochel crazy busy Friday Pashas Lech Lecho?

Is driving and parking as usual?

I heard it's only buses around the yurzeit.

Can anyone tell me where to get information on routes and schedules from around the Waldorf?

Can you explain exactly what these VIP services provide?

Straight thru security before checkin? As in Business class line?

How about checkin? Do you get to the front of the line there?

And the xray machine line?

Lounge access?

Anything else?

Anybody ever use these services?

I got an email from Cellopark saying something about paying toll through the app.

Anyone use it yet? Can anyone provide instructions on using it with a rental car?

Will I be able to avoid extra rental company fees this way?

TIA

Going in a couple of days. Anyone?
