Kuzina was great , good food and clean. FYI Mama Mia also has Belz hechsher.
My mistake. I meant Belz, it doesn't have Aurbach, that was the place next to it before it shut down.

We're big fans of Gan Guru, not far from Tiveria, one of the only places in the world outside of Australia where you can pet and feed kangaroos. I recall also visiting an ancient shul in the area, I believe in Beit She'an.

Rabanut
Wasn’t it Machpud? Or at least Rabbanut Mehadrin?

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Was a well circulated urban myth for some years. They might have said some of their meat was chalak at some point. It rolls on from there.

Spoke to him as well. He advised to call him the day I want to go and he will tell me specifics.

Drift that I got from restaurant is that they are very open about what they have and don't have. Very different than certain other locations in Israel.
