What info are you looking for?
Around 500 people are expected
Im trying to book a private room.
Getting info was like pulling teeth. I finally got info.
It seems like the private hotel rooms are booked out by the people that are coming for years.There are though shared bedrooms in apartments between 4-8 people per room.Total cost for Chag would be  $100. Checkin is Thursday.

Are there any insiders here that can help with getting a room?

thank you. I am going myself. Perhaps you can reserve a spot and give it to me? It seems that only those that have been going for years are eligible for private rooms. They are at a premium and money doesn't talk here (ironically).

Yup your not getting a private room, forget about it (even the private rooms have a minimum on two beds)

I would sleep in a room of 4 beds with friends,


The first two years we rented a house from a bubushke with no electricity and an outhouse, now that was fun!

As Per The Head guy in the Israeli office, there are no rooms available in the hotel and two new buildings will not be completed in time for שבועות.

There are two hotels. A new one and old one. They are both full. The overflow will be 4 per room in the nearby apartments.

Is there a הכנסת ארכום? מקוה?
How much does it cost to stay? How is the quality of accommodations? Do they provide food?

All I said in that post is that there's a new building just finished recently.

New Shul in DME! See here

Basically, across Sberbank on 2nd floor.

In case you missed it - the shul in SVO is at the gate where NY and TLV flight come and go... end of terminal across from each other.
