Looking for a good family friendly spot in northern Israel where we can camp in our own tents with the kids.

Any recommendations?

Has anyone done a proper stargazing experience in Israel? I know the desert has very dark skies, but I’m curious whether there are observatories, guided astronomy nights or specific places that are particularly good.

Hi everyone I am looking to do an internship with masa but worried about the finance side. I get a grant making it £4.9k and will likely be eligible for a means tested scholarship directly from masa (I don’t know how much yet - if anyone knows what the top amount uk wise is would appreciate insight). UJIA can’t help as it’s only for gap years etc. I’m looking to do career Israel with Israel experience. I will also contact my synogogue in the morning to see if they offer help. Are there any other organisations that anyone knows of? And if you participated how much did it cost per month to live there. Thanks so much!

I am (m, German) visiting Israel together with my girlfriend. She was born here, is an Arabic Christian and her family comes from Mi‘ilya near Nahariya.

This weekend the family planned a trip down to Jericho. We will stay at a Ressort / vacation home for two nights.

Everybody says I will be fine….Nonetheless: Any suggestions or important advice you can give me ahead of the trip?

Thanks!

Haven’t been to Jerusalem in many years but we’re finally making the day trip again tomorrow. My priority is going to the kotel. Any advice on where to park our car for the 3-4 hours that we’ll be in the city? I saw various lots on google but would love some firsthand experience of where we have the best chance of finding a spot, etc.

Todah!!

I’m in Israel now & we want to bring my 87 year old MIL — who’s in a wheelchair— from Ra’anana to the Kotel. Is it wheelchair accessible? Where should we be dropped off to make it easiest to get her there?

I'm flying Israir from Athens to Tel Aviv. I have a CPAP machine in a case. Will Israir charge me for a carry-on to bring the CPAP case on the plane?

I know that in the US airlines are not allowed to count medical devices against your baggage allowance but this flight doesn't start or end in the US. I'm hoping Israel has a similar policy.

Hello, i would like to go to Israel for my holiday (2027 summer) but i don’t know when to go (i have like 1 week) and what to see.

Thanks for every response.
