Anyone have any info on a tire repair that comes to your house?

U/D it seems there's a Chaveirm Org in Israel called Yedidim for roadside assistance.

My next Q: anyone know of a private general practitioner? I tried getting through to Dr Stein for 2 days with no luck.

Hitch?, a lot of Arabs traveling that way so you got to be very carful but can be very easy to get a hitch, but my friends biked down there and took the bus back.

They are for non-medical emergencies, like if you got flat tire/dead battery and you are on the way to a chasuna/shiur and/or the towing company can not come for a while.

Any nice places to eat with a extra "good" hechsher not in Yerushalayim ? Tel Aviv ? Ashdod? Ashkelon? Ramat Gan?

I just heard a great recommendation for awesome shwarma, cheap prices, Eztra Super Kosher, it's called Spaishil (Special). It is in Kiryat Sefer (Modiin Illit) Rechov Sedei Chemed 1 (right off Chafetz Chaim), my cousin told me its worth the trip to KS for this restaurant. I have an ad here, it says Shwarma/Chicken Steak/Pargiot in a pita only 18 shekel, if in a laffa, only 25 shekel open 12-23:30 Fri 8 - 14, Mortza"Sh closed. Phone 086seven67212. If you go, can you write up a review here?

some of my window screens are shredded, and id like to replace them. anyone know of someone good for the job?

If you know how to change a light bulb, you can probably do the screen yourself, just buy screen material in a local hardware store, it will cost you a few shekel instead of a few hundred!

its hard to actually put the material in. i happen to have an ex-israeli engineer for the army, whose a fix it man, so he did it for free, but he had to take out the whole fame of the window bec my window frame was metel.
