Things To Do In Israel Master Thread

For what it's worth, sounds like  this is the minyan for the yeshiva lev Avraham (I was recruited to go there after high school), the rabbi r weinfeld seemed like a great man and very smart. Would think crowd is hardcore and will be a long minyan.

[shiframeir]

When I davened there on a Friday night it reminded me of an American frum fri night minyan, nothing special not too fast not too slow, but yamim noraim are a different deal usually by yeshivos (not sure how many talmidim/avreichim are there now, was a big 1st year after hi school place for a while in the late 90s and then they stopped and just kept the kollel, not sure what's up currently).

Thanks for the info.

Anyone have any suggestions for an american style shul for yom kippur near sanhedria/gush shmonim/ramat eshkol.  Nice davening, not to slow, not to crowded, air conditioned.   Thanks.

Can anyone help me out. I'm leaving for the airport in an hour. Don't have time to read through this whole blog. What would be the best way to get to Rechavia from the airport and not too expensive. One catch. I don't have time to sit on a sherut till they fill up. I have to get to Yerushalayim, change and run to the 911 ceremony. As I remember, taxis were quite expensive. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

if your not taking a sherut, gotta either pay the about 250 shek for a taxi, or just rent a cheap small automatic car (but that takes time at the desk and waiting on line) for about 200 shek plus need parking and cover gas. if u want to see what u can get can email rent@noachcar.co.il asap and see what they can get u last minute for a car from ben gurion. fastest will just be a taxi.
