Article and photos by @AmySpiro, Israel correspondent There are many restaurants that get their clientele from their locations on main thoroughfares. But it’s the ones hidden away from the public eye – and heard about by way of mouth – that often have the tastiest fare.

It should come as no surprise that when most Jewish restaurants shut down for the week, the kosher capital of the world becomes the "Kosher for Passover" capital of the world. So whether you’re visiting for the holiday, a native Jerusalemite or driving in from elsewhere in the country, there is no shortage of places [...]

This may be one of my most favorite lookout points in all of Israel, or in the whole world, especially with the beautiful Baha’i Gardens below. It’s a site that can’t be missed if you’re touring Israel. [googleMap]map[/googleMap] I wanted to thank our sponsors for this Israel trip: ELDAN CAR RENTAL and TRAVELCELL Cell Phone [...]

In my trip this past summer, I made sure to visit one of the most amazing locations in the country: Rosh Hanikra.

Earlier this year, I flew KLM/Delta to Israel, with a nice 8+ hour stopover in Amsterdam. I liked this option as it gave me the opportunity to leave the AMS airport and explore the city. In the short time there I managed to figure out exactly how to (using public transportation only) get to the [...]

Traveling to Israel is something people do for vacation, business, visiting friends and family, as a student, or to attend a simcha.

Israel ranked top amongst “Developing Nations” (which is an odd placement if you ask me) and Switzerland topped the “Developed Nations” list. The 3rd annual Adventure Travel Development Index (ADTI) which ranked 195 countries, giving a score to each one [...]

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 [...]

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. It’s no surprise that Israel has become a hotspot for cruises this year to disembark… News from Israel’s Ministry of Tourism: Cruise travel to Israel [...]

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 [...]

Israel’s public transportation system affects all in Israel, religious or not, since majority of the intercity systems (if not all) shut down for Shabbat and Holidays. The Israeli Railways system and the Egged Bus system have specific timetables set up so you’ll be able to navigate Israel before and after the chag. Just don’t get [...]

Almost ten thousand athletes from all over the world and Israel are converging on Jerusalem, Israel on Friday, March 25th, to participate in the first ever Jerusalem Marathon; these runners are redefining the term Aliya L’Regel.

We’re really excited by Lonely Planet’s pick of Tel Aviv as the #3 city to visit this year, albeit, we are not shocked. Tel Aviv is super cosmopolitan, culture-rich, bustling with day and nightlife, both modern and historical, and has places for us Kosher travelers to eat and enjoy Israeli / Middle Eastern cuisine. Please [...]
