Why can't you just use this method to buy anything for that matter? Like bullion, jewelry or other expensive items?

Now that I saw this thread, you can remove it. ;)

The question is , if you would have wanted it removed without seeing it.

The Ruble strengthened by 10% today because of drastic actions taken by the Russian Central Bank but we'll see how long that lasts.

Check the 52 week range.  When you're looking at USD/RUB you see that the dollar went down 14% today against the Ruble.  That means the Ruble strengthened, not weakened.

...or just the dollar weakened. Or a combination of the dollar weakening and the ruble strengthening.

Tried this, the price for tickets from EWR-TLV isn't discounted. Oh well, thought I'd finally be able to visit Israel....

At Bloombergs.com it's showing that dollar is going up

You're misreading the chart.
http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/RUBUSD:CUR means the Ruble is getting stronger
http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/USDRUB:CUR means the Dollar is getting weaker

Whats a good deal? depends on the month/day, there are so many different options.

I would have loved to surprise a friend who is getting married there January 18 so around that date. A good deal is a safe airline (especially nonstop like this one would have been) for under $850.
