I will be there, but I'm not sure when. I have some things to tie up here in Ireland first. I will make contact when it is nearing time. I am also sharing with my Israeli friends and loved one's. They are from Arad. Shalom 💙
I'd like to visit Israel one day. Yalla bye!
I have been to IL a few weeks ago and my planning of a 10 days trip started ať Oren's CZcams chanel. Absolutely honestly, almost of 90% of the most important info, hints and recommendations I've got just there. What I utmost appreciated were his booklets, should there be any new ones of any other cities, Judaean or Negev desert (which is my next target) I would be one of the first to purchase. Israel is great country to visit and the way of its introduction done by Oren was/is the best for me. Thank you Oren really very much!! Dan
Thanks, will be glad to visit someday.
I have learned so much from your booklets and the app, Thank you for continuing to create content. As the world for American's opens up , hopefully more will come to Israel. When I tell people I am coming in October they get super excited for me.
I am thinking of going to Isreal next year to c oren zaarifi had a big stroke &losted my left side I would have to hire a. Nurse to help me I would like to see some of the country thank u for this blog it helps me I have lost my computer skills thank u for this blog Anthony 😊😊
As a frequent visitor to Israel, I posted my recommendations before. But for those who haven't seen those comments:
1. Don't take a packaged tour. Packaged tours go to all the better known sites, skipping lesser known sites which are often more interesting. Packaged tours also rush you around. GET A PRIVATE TOUR! Private tours go at your speed, will go to sites you want to see, and will take you to little known sites which are well worth seeing. It is easy to get around Israel, but the first-time tourist would probably want a guide anyway. Find a licensed guide --- such as Oren. NOTE: A private tour will be more expensive, so go in a group with family or friends to share the cost. It's more fun with a group anyway.
2. When picking your hotel, inquire about the difference between the bed and breakfast rate and the room and board rate. Bed and breakfast is just as it sounds. Room and board includes dinner. You want the bed and breakfast rate because there are just too many great restaurants in Israel that you do not want to miss. WARNING: If you take a packaged tour, you most likely will not get to pick your hotel and rate.
Note: Jewish visitors should inquire as to if the hotel serves Shabbos lunch as well as Shabbos dinner. If you get the bed and breakfast rate, let the hotel know at check-in that you want to eat your Shabbos meals at the hotel. Also, check on the kashrut status before you go. Not all hotels are kosher. Also, some of the boutique hotels have only a coffee shop or may not have dinning at all.
3. Pack light. Many hotels do have a laundry service. It will cost you, but you're not making this trip to save money, are you? Remember when visiting religious sites, immodest clothing is found upon, and may even be forbidden. So pack with this in mind.
4. Keep a supply of shekels in your pocket. Taxis do not take credit cards, and neither do many food stands. You may have a problem getting cash from a smaller bank's ATM, so look for Bank Hapoalim or Bank Leumi. Visa and MasterCard are welcomed. Discover is not accepted in Israel.
5. Don't worry about how good your conversational Hebrew is. Most Israelis speak English to some extent. As in many foreign countries, natives prefer that you speak in English rather than mangle their native tongue.
I'm planning my next trip now!
Do you have tips for traveling to Israel with kids? I’m dying to get there with my family!
@@mondaymorning4773 Make sure they pay their share?
I don't have kids, and I don't know about yours, so I don't think I can give you good advice. One thing to remember, you will be doing a lot of walking. So if your kids don't like walking, you may have a problem.
My mother's dream trip was to go to Israel with the entire family. We did that years ago, including the first trip to Israel for my nieces and nephew. I think they were about 11, 7, and 5 at the time. My brother set most of the itinerary and got a private guide. Some places we visited were strictly for children. They handled the trip quite well. The 5 year old, who is now 23, even made aliya a few years back and lives outside Tel Aviv.
A lot probably depends on your kid's interests. There are various zoos and museums they may like. Tours usually skip these, but you might want to check them out.
The first time I visited Israel, almost 25 years ago, my parents and I took a bicycle tour from אופניי מצוינות, much of which was through the Negev in February. It was an excellent way to see everything up close. My parents and I were more experienced cyclists, than others in the group (mostly New Yorkers), so didn't want to go as slowly as the others. We were given a list of turning in transliterations, that did not match the signs. I asked for a list of turnings with the Hebrew names, so the the next day I was given a set of instructions only in Hebrew. The guide, Chaim, thought that would shut us up, but I was able to read it, and we got to our destination two hours before the group, and had a chance to shop and eat street food. After that, each day Chaim greeted me with a big smile, and gave me a set of instructions, in handwritten Hebrew, but with annotations of interesting things to look for.
Love your video's...learn so much from you...thank you Oren!! From South Africa..

Thankyou for this very informative video!
Israel is amazing 🙏🏻😇❤️

I will definitely comeback nextime!😌
Shalom Oren. As usual, a crisp and clear content in the video. - DS
Love your videos. Even the one through the desert hike, which was Realllllllllly long. 👨🌾
Thanks Oren for your efforts and content you share! I have backpacked and hiked Israel on a low budget three times by now, and watching your videos is like meeting good old friends, I remember the smells and feels, the athmosphere. Loved it. Yalla bye, bis zum nächsten mal!
Very interesting to know about.
You are so knowledgeable and honest! Having visited Israel before you started this channel, and having friends who were born and live there, I an attest to everything you say being accurate and right on. I will try your website and buy your books. All the best to you and your family😎
Really appreciate your videos and content. Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them!
I really cannot wait to go back. Great videos!
Nice video. Thanks for the “yallah” explanation. Very interesting cos we use the word “lah” for similar situations. 😊
I love your explanation of “yalla”! I truly hope to see you when I’m in Israel very soon! So glad to be going 😄
Thanks Oren! Can anyone give tips for a trip to..., yes you guessed it, Wisconsin?
Your booklets are wonderful and so easy to read. Highly recommended even if you never travel to Israel.
Thank you for sharing. It was very informative video, keep it up! God bless Israel always.
Love all your videos Achi ❤️👍 your awesome 😎.
How about a video on Acre and Nahariyya? Particularly any sites of Jewish interest.
Also Tzfat, Megiddo, Maarat Hamachpela, Beit Shaan or the caves in Soreq.
@@deborahfreedman333 I don't recommend Tzfat during the off-season. Everything shuts down around 5 pm in the old city. The last time I went was over Chanukah, but I was only staying in Tzfat because there were no decent hotels in Meron, which is the area I wanted to tour. I had to get a private guide for that one, but it was worth it. Only with the nearby restaurants closing early or totally closed, I had to take all my meals at the hotel.
But if you do go during the tourist season, you can have a nice walk through the artist colony. Also visit the various synagogues. There is a good museum on the city's history. The old cemetery includes the graves of many great rabbonim, including the Ari, as well as the Tomb of Hosea. Don't forget the candle factory, also in the artist colony.
I recommend the Ruth Rimonim Hotel.
Achi I'm arriving in two week, I'll be in IL for a couple months. I'd love to Collab and make some videos together also to promote your tour business!
I would love to visit Israel. I would be traveling alone though and I wonder if I would be able to get the most out of it.
Hi Oren, love your videos!! I am coming visit Isreal from South Afria this year and wanted to know more about the covid resirctions when traveling to and from Isreal and in the country do you know more about this? Here in SA the restrictions have been lifted but not sure about what they are there? thanks alot for your awsome content!
Hi there! Love your channel!
Can i ask if you can share your knowledge about the name Hadassah?
Is it a tree or bush in Israel? Do you have any pictures of it?
Why is Israel described as Hadassah?
What is the significance of the name Hadassah?
Thanks!
yalla from italy
;-)'
Do you do guided tours? I will need a guide, someone who knows the area and can speak the language.
Oren you always make me laugh! So I have a plan now to bring two of my Catholic friends to Israel next year. Maybe a video on interfaith trips and also teaching our friends about the real history of Israel and the Jews?
Hi we are thinking of sailing to Israel on our boat… can we hire you and are there marina to stay- we may get there in 6 months from now.
Thank you, Oren.🙏🏿🇮🇱
Hi Oren. Would like to tour Israel. Any tour companies in israel u can reccommend ??
Please help! How do you set up parking app as a tourist in IL using a US cell phone number? Pango requires Israeli ph number, which I don’t have, and Cello seems to take my US number but then no SMS code comes through in order to register. So I’m stuck but want to be able to park in Israel…
How do we donate to you safely...we think you do a valuable service and need to helpout:)
Have you considered having maybe premium content on Nebula ?

Why do you need to bring jesus into this?!
@@Lagolop Where did I bring Jesus into this? 🤔

"✝". What else does it represent. Idi0t.

Last videos I saw at the wall was Palestinians and Israelis in a war zone I think it was Jerusalem day but it looks pretty rough I was in Israel 6 years ago and look to returning

LORD JESUS (YESHUA) Is the KING of the Jews (Isaiah 53) .
Not according to the original Hebrew text.
@@MFPhoto1 LORD JESUS (YESHUA) Is the KING 👑 Of the Jews (Psalms 22) , (Psalms 2) , (Isaiah 9 : 6-7) , (Isaiah 7 : 14) , (Micah 5 : 2) , (Proverbs 30 : 4) .
Mistranslation of course .... bullshit.
@@isusjebogisaija96-75 More garbage. You try to insert Jesus in to everything where he doesn't belong.
Considering the huge number of Jews, murdered to force us to convert, to your religion, your posting this is hate speech. Your dead god was never our king, and he is considered another false prophet. False prophets never bring anything but pain and death. Stop posting hate speech. Learn Hebrew, so you can read the texts for yourself, and realize how wrong you are.
