You have to register your car before on the website(and unregister when your done)or else the rental agency will handle it with a 50 nis processing fee

Link?
Will it take US cards?

Not sure about the US cards. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle for 50 nis

Cello app also has cello+ for tolls but I wasn't able to get it to work. Maybe others had better luck.

I use the 'asimon card' you can Google it, 3.5 cents/ minute, if there's something cheaper I'd like to know, how much is TMobile plan?

Google voice is 1c per minute to Israeli Landlines and 3c per minute to Isreali Cellphones.

Is it safe to drive from Jlem to Gush Etzion at night?

It's the central area of the gush, it's fine

GV not an option? Even if the number is not a GV number, you can forward it to a GV number and get everything through the app.

Does anyone know the current rates for private tour guides?

Hi,
I'll be traveling to Israel in August with a few families and some of the families have a lot of kids. They need a larger vehicle to rent to be able to get around.
We've checked into the standard rental companies and the max amount of seats they have is 9. We need something like a 15 seater van or a sprinter. Does anyone know of a way to rent such a vehicle?

(We're going for a few weeks so getting a driver for the entire time is not really feasible)

Trying to avoid that but it looks like that might be the only option. I've been told that a vehicle larger than 9 seats needs a special driver's license in Israel $:-\$

Had the same when we went several years ago. We had to hire a driver with a van because we couldn't rent anything big enough.

Blind museum was an eye opening experience (can I say that?). It's very well done.

But it was too intense for my nearly 9 year old daughter to appreciate, though my 10 year old son was fine. I feel like that has more to do with personality than age, but it's likely a combination of the 2.

Nachalat Binyamin art fair is nice, though prices have really gone up and vendors don't care to negotiate.

We (2 adults) loved it. Was really well-done and thought-provoking. Was actually really fun and enjoyable, too, though we did have some hilarious people in our group.

Yup, my wife did it in seminary, so I took the older 2 kids there.
