Nice article. Perhaps next trip you could visit the world renown zoo, the largest mall in the Middle East, Malcha, taste the fabulous burger at Focaccia Bar with goose breast and avocado, or the home made ice cream at Cacao below the Cinematech Theater after viewing a vintage film, gasp at the breathtakingly beautiful stained glass windows by Chagall at Hadassah Hospital, visit the Israel and Bible Lands Museums, oh, and yes, perhaps you could even squeeze in a synagogue service.
