Train רכבת:

Starting from September 2018 there is a direct train line between the airport and Jerusalem's central bus station which is at the main entrance to the city.
Train runs every half hour and cost 17 shekel per ride. I think there is a discount if you buy round trip.

To get to the train: Leave the terminal through exit 01 and it is directly on your right. You can buy a ticket from the automatic machines outside the station entrance.
Please note that the train only runs during the day and not at night. Check the Israeli rail  website in advance if you are not sure.

Walk: 0 NIS Takes about 13 hous and 47 minutes give or take a few depending where you start.

In my yeshiva days we would take the train to akko and then take the bus to tzfas.

Wasn't a big deal for me when I was 14-16

Thanks! About how long is the ordeal? And if I wanted to go to Tiberias first and then onto Tzfas? (I can take a taxi for short distance)

This is still the way to go

Train is about two hours (but a comfortable ride) and bus is another hour, plus waiting time. There is very little walking involved.

If you wanna go to tiveria first, you can take a bus from Tel Aviv (the city, not the airport). I do not know how long it takes.

Are there any private taxis late at night from TLV airport to Jerusalem for under 200NIS? Recommendations? It'd be for 2 people plus luggage (1 large, 1 handheld). Probably around 9-10pm on a Monday night. Trying to decide between shared sheirut or taxi depending on price.

I know of a reliable car service that i have used myself in the past, their rate from Jerusalem to TLV during the day for 1 passenger is 165, i believe they would drive the opposite direction also for the same rate so in your case it probably would be around 200 nis, their number is 035511110 (hebrew).

Took the Sherut from the airport to Jerusalem- good experience.
For 2 people it's OK.
 If more-get pvt car

Definately the train, especially during rush hour.  We only take the bus during the hours that the train is not running..
