Help Israel - resource for supporting Israel

Visit Israel as a Tourist

One of the best ways to help Israel is by coming as a tourist. Not only will this help their economy, it will also be a blessing to you. After visiting, I'm sure you will be able to give a favorable report about this great country!

There are many tours available. One site to refer to Tours Through the Book.

Accommodations

If you want to stay in the Old City of Jerusalem, I highly recommend you contat Rozy's bed and breakfast. Her place is in the heart of the Jewish Quarter. Rozy is a kind and considerate person who always makes you feel at home. Staying with her is always a real pleasure.

Ilon and Olga Shapira are another lovely family who have roooms available in their home. Olga provides a great breakfast for her guests and Ilan is a licensed tour guide. Living in their home for several months was a pleasant experience. I also enjoyed the view of the Temple Mount from their roof top.

If you are coming to Israel with a small group, there are several hostels nearby. Accommodations are also available at Christ Church, which is just inside the Jaffa Gate. Of course there are many hotels and places available outside the Old City.

Purchasing Items

If you can't visit Israel, you might want to purchase some items that are made in Israel. I suggest that you check out Esther Weiss' Silver Point web site. Esther is a friend you will never forget. Her presence in the Jewish Quarter is not only a blessing to those who live there but also to those who visit her shop.
