Where can I buy a converter (from US to Israeli outlets) in yerushalayim? Preferably near the tachana mercazit. Thanks

Assuming it's the same voltage (laptop/phone charger) it is an adaptor which you can get it in any טמבור electronics or hardware store. If it's not the same voltage (oven) you need a converter and it can explode if its not the right setting.

Unfortunately many people were so in the habit of carrying that they forgot about the eiruv.

Even the strings that were still up were so weighed down by snow that they were not kosher
