i had trouble booking it with an international card for that reason, but when i used my israeli cc, it accepted my 77 meuchedet number in leiu of a TZ
If I pay using paypal, will that take away the entire problem of not having a israeli cc or T.Z.?    THE ANSWER IS YES
Also, since im paying with paypal, is it no longer a foreign transaction fee, but rather its as if im paying paypal directly in the USA? DUNNO

I had no trouble using paypal to buy the Kinor deal.
Also, they converted today at 3.60, when the actual rate now is 3.71.
Around what rate would chase sapphire or another cc done?

My favorite thing to do in Tiveria at 3am is go sit by the water.

Or go for a drive towards Meiron and stop at the side of the road where its pitch black and you can see a crazy amount of stars.

Thanks. Good to know that place is still in operation.
When I was there a couple of years ago was there also a Aurbach hechsher somewhere there?

If someone doesn't want to eat Machpud, where can you eat fleishig with a better/different hechsher up north, in Tveria, Tzfas, ect.
Please provide names and if possible addresses/phone numbers. Thanks
