Last month I had the opportunity to go on a half day kosher winery tour with My Israel Wine Tours, led by Esther Cohen. We visited two wineries in the Judean Hills, about 25-35 minutes outside of Jerusalem: Tzuba Winery & Tzora Winery. At Tzuba, we were shown the wine making facilities, explained the entire [...]

After recently getting back from Israel, I can tell you that there are multiple things you need to plan in advance before your trip. Finding your lodging, meals, and scheduling your activities are obviously all things you should think about doing way in advance of your travel to Israel. Renting a car is often one of those things left for last.

Since I settled into my first sublet blocks away from Kikar Rabin in 2006, I found myself defending the “holiness” and kashrut of Tel Aviv.  (For the record, it is possible to be an observant Jew in the “secular” city of Tel Aviv – I did it and most of my friends do it.)  During [...]

If you’re like me, you drool every time you pass a Cinnabon shop in the U.S. The way those cinnamon buns smell and look make me hungry and want to skip lunch just to try them. So we’re excited to report that Cinnabon is opening a Kosher shop in Tel Aviv by Rabin Square at [...]

Sandwiched between the Old City, the city center, and the fancy hotel district (the area with David’s Citadel, King David Hotel, and the future Waldorf Astoria) is the magnificent outdoor Mamilla Mall. Not long ago, this area was empty for decades, with nothing more than a parking lot a few years ago. Today, this thin [...]

Roladin is a delicious bakery/ restaurant/ cafe I had the opportunity of trying on a recent stay in Jerusalem. The restaurant is located at the Mamilla mall, near the Jaffa Gate of the Old City. The place is somewhat pricey for dairy, but well worth it. The restaurant offers a well lit indoor seating area, [...]

Cruising in general has become a huge fad in travel over the past few years since it’s affordable and is basically a hotel that takes you to various amazing destinations.

I know that Israel turns 63 today, but putting together a list of 63 things is a daunting task. Maybe next year I’ll work on 64 things. And in no particular order… 1) The rich history – Jewish & non-Jewish, it happened here. The Torah / Bible? Yeah, most of that takes place here. The [...]

This was my first ever Pesach not at my home (or parents’ or in-laws’, etc.), but I now understand what one of my family said over dinner one night, “I can understand how a program like this could put you off making Pesach at home forever.” The Food An unlimited supply of meats and fowl [...]
