On that note. Is there any place to eat in Ashdod?

While I don't know Ashdod but isn't it one of the biggest frum communities? It shouldn't be a problem finding a place.

You'd think there would be more but AFAIK There are only a handful of places and nothing great. A few falafel places, some bakery/pizza places and a place called Tal Galim at one of the entrances to Ashdod that is made for truckers where you can get a pretty decent fleishig meal (soup, chickens, meat, schnitzel, schwarma etc) but it's only open until 5. If you eat Machpud there are a handful of places with Machpud as well but nothing that's a restaurant exactly.
If you eat beit yosef there are plenty of options.

A short drive to Yavne takes you to the Ben and Jerrys factory ice cream store

The Arab guard who killed him was officially charged with murder after the police verified his account of the story. it turns out he killed the guy for insulting Bedouins an hour earlier when he went passed security.

The guard I hear is a druze.

I finally found use for that card they give you at passport control! It can be used a s a student I'd to give you discounts! One great example is the ongoing promo from Hertz in Europe

Cinnabon Tel Aviv report:

After being teased for years by the delicious smells wafting through malls and airports everywhere, it's nice to be able to actually taste the stuff.

Cinnabon Tel Aviv is under the supervision of Rabbanut Tel Aviv, so big YLORMV there.

The buns were simply delicious! We had their Cinnabon Classic, as well as the small "Cinnabites", which come in packs of four (we had two classic and two pecan caramel). Their Chillata (tropical blast) was delicious and refreshing, too.

We also took a red velvet cupcake to go - I'll let you know how that was tomorrow.

Pictures to follow...

Bought the mini-mix pack yesterday and brought it home for the wife,
Quite tasty, but not cheap at 68 shekel for the 6 buns.
The bigger buns seem to be a better value.
