Does anyone have any experience donating blood in Yerushalaim? Has anyone done Platelets? my Hebrew is "OK" but is the process English friendly?

I set things up so I will be double red eligible when I am in E"Y BE"H. I would like to donate.

TIA

As a non citizen you will fill out a paper form not a digital one
It will be in Hebrew however they will give you a laminated card with translations of each question
Most staff have a basic level of English and statistically speaking there will be an English speaking staff member present if done if done in Jerusalem region
Regarding platelets they can only be donated in hospitals as they need to check the levels before starting (MDA does in ramle and tel hashomer  blood banks)

A drop too late for this but before Shavous they always had a blood drive in Ramat Eshkol.

On the fence if I should take a driver or rent a car to go Meron Tsfas Teverye. It’s the day before erev Sukkos. Will parking/traffic in those cities be nuts? How much time would I waste driving and looking for parking vs having a driver?

gonna take 1/2 hr+ or so to rent a car.
cant imagine that there would be much traffic...
parking is dependant on which kevorim/sites you would want...
some are very convenient, some much less.
driver would help you on actually finding the kvorim/sites though.

Taking car out two days earlier. It’s about the same price as there would not be KM overage. Which of the famous kevarim are more difficult with parking? Would use google maps to find the sites.
