I have family moving to Hertzeliya, Tel Aviv, Netanya, Raanana area for a year.

If any DDF'ers know those communities, schools (especially chabad), neighborhoods, and a real estate agent for rentals, please PM!

Thank you!

Saw this from a rent a car place, but the link looks old. Anyone have more info?

As of March 1st it is prohibited by the law to drive children under the age of 4 in vehicles without a Child Safety System to prevent children from being forgotten in a car. Our rental vehicles are not equipped with such System, and it is the sole responsibility of the renter to install it should they intend to drive a child under the age of 4. The system is not available for rent and may be purchased by the renter independently or from one of the following rental locations, subject to availability in stock. Furth further information please visit: https://www.gov.il/en/departments/news/child_safetysystem

And is this recent? Googling it made it seem like old news

how can i set up my rental with my cc so toll will be charged there?

You can't register with rental company and they will charge you a lot for using the tolls, however once you have your car you can register it to your online account.

כביש 6 - https://service.kvish6.co.il/#/website/customer-area/registration?x=1&Button=Header or call at 039081111 Ext 4

כביש 6 חוצה ישראל - https://6cn.co.il/register or call at 039533929 Ext 2

Don't forget to remove your vehicle after returning it...

Can anyone recommend a good guide book for Israel? I got the Lonely Planet but its full of hate and not really helpful for a Frum traveler.

This may be the wrong thread, but does anyone have a Physical Album scanning and digitizing service they can recommend in Israel?
