If I do want to fight/dispute a ticket what do I do?

Send in the ticket right away saying you want to contest it. Give whatever random reason you want. Put down American address as return address. They won't go after rental company once they have someone claiming responsibility so rental company won't hear about it and won't charge you the 10-15 dollar service charge for having to process it / forward your info to cops. Cops won't pursue you in America for parking ticket and even if they do what do you have to lose...

Thank you!

I heard Mervad Haksamim is good and cheap. Unsure of their hechsher. IIRC it is a decent one.
I wouldn't go to heimishe essen.

Supposedly it's Machpoud now, which makes sense to me.

BTW, there are two marvad haksamim's. One in Emek refaim (machpoud), and one on king george (unsure).

There is also Toiamehu next to Kikar Shabbos that has special shabbos meal packages.

There is one Marvad Still open on emek
Good for Sephardi food. It's Machpud
Great pargiot and chilli schnitzels

There is ulamei bais Yisroel in Ezras Torah
Biggest selection of dips and they have all your standard Shabbas food

Finnally there is Madanei Geulah located on Kikar Shabbas
Greasy Spoon but centrally located and good food
