Is Pizza Hut kosher Netanya ?
Depends what you call kosher? It definitely has some Jewish letters somewhere in the store.

Glad to hear that because I asked about them above and got no response. Which hike did you do with them?
I don't remember if it had an official name. But the driver picked us up from Eilat and we drove to some giant mountains overlooking the Dead Sea. There were 3 Rappels and it got progressively steeper.  It was the "extreme" one. And my entire family did it.

I hate doing this, but:
if anyone knows somebody who is coming in from NY for Shavuos and has room for a 1.6 lb book, please let me know.
I greatly appreciate it.

We used this company a few years back to go hiking and rappelling. It was amazing.

I got a quote for rappelling - 1190 shekels for Keshet cave. That's not my budget. Can you suggest other alternatives?
